Default true duels

Has anyone put true duels on without a H-pipe or X-pipe.The reason I ask is I went to the muffler shop today and the guy said it I really didn't need a crossover pipe he would just run duel pipes without it and dump it behind the axle.Will this hurt my performance at all or do I really need the crossover pipe.He said it would sound better without it.

at high rpm i have heard the x pipe is the winner for flow. as for tone i have had an H and an X with basically the same setup and the X sounded way better inside the car. having heard some recent clips of me driving i have to admit the H thats on there sounds pretty damn good outside the car. it drones at 2K on the freeway the X didn't. both sound fantastic at WOT.

without a crossover pipe it will be fine ... probably less than 5hp difference between all the choices, but without a crossover pipe its loud as heck
