anyone ever ran 2 x pipes is there anyone on here that can tell me first hand if they have ran more than one x pipe on an exhaust system? or more than one h pipe? i have an 05 cts-v ls6 car and it has stock manifolds, then cat delete pipes, then magnaflow catback w x-pipe. its too raspy for my liking.
the following is a sound clip:

I'm thinking about installing a 2nd x pipe in attempt to eliminate the rasp. I would also like to give it a bit of a more exotic tone, like maybe that of a modded c5z. I know different mufflers are also an option as are headers. I am not going to waste money on headers as I am planning on a single or twin turbos in the near future. I might try some different mufflers if the extra x-pipe doesnt do what i want it to.
any insight would be great especially if any of you have tried a double x pipe setup before. or hell, three or four x pipes for that matter lol jus want to know what the effect, if any, would be from more than one x pipe on an exhaust system. thanks in advance.

My buddies GTO has the magnaflow 2 in 2 out muffler which has the x built in. Its right behind the normal x. It has a nice deep tone at idle and cruise. Wide open, it kinda has a higher pitch sound to it.

These magnaflow system was already on the car when i bought it. Why would i spend 100 to 200 dollars on different mufflers when i can cut the cat off for free, and make more power doing it lol

I think you would benefit from just taking out the X and buying jegs crossover (H) kit. Its like $40 some bucks and would probably fix the problem. An H pipe usually gives a tamer, deeper, less raspy tone...an X pipe usually gives a few more ponies at peak but will cause rasp in most cases.
why don't you just put cats back on the car and then add a cut-out, so you can be loud and obnoxious when you want and then have a nice mellow tone when you're wanting to lay low?
