Default need exhaust help

I am looking at buying new exhaust and need some info. I have a 99 ws6,
here is what I am thinking, Pacesetter LT headers with all emission provisions, 4inch bullets, some sort of X pipe, and dumps before rear axle, I may decide to run them over the rear axle because the rear bumper cover has the cut outs and it may look bad without them there. I would like some insight on what brand X to buy and where is the best place to put the mufflers? I would also like to know if there is room to run 4 inch pipe over the axle? I am not planning on running cats and have some upgrades in the plans but nothing major yet just dont want to do it twice. Thanks for the info.

I have no idea about the actual system, but from an appearance standpoint, any TA would look terrible without some kind of pipes filling the space in the bumper

You need tips on a WS6 they look weird without them. Have a custom X pipe made, it will flow better and better fit your car. why have headers with emissions if your not going to run cats? just run some high flow magnaflows and stay somewhat emissions ready

3" should clear the axle fine. You will have to have a good exhaust shop fab it up though.
