Question True Duals Without The X Pipe?

Would I lose power without the X pipe and what would be the sound difference without the X pipe. The reason I want to know is all the muffler shops I have been to dont want to try to do it with the X pipe. So I was thinking just two bullets dump no X pipe. That would be easier on the muffler shops. I might be able to find one that might try to do the X pipe.

Just buy the x-pipe junction. You can get them for about $40 off the net. It really cleans up the sound and it makes a little more power than regular true duals, due to the better scavenging.

buy an X-pipe or the dr.gas kit. you'll want the equalizing effect from an x/h pipe setup.

I have a X pipe setup for sale in the parts for sale section. Email jeffharmon70@hotmail.com for info/pics. You have much better scavenging with a X or a H. Exhaust bozos...I made mine myself in my back yard.( one with H, one with X)
