Default X-Pipe or Y-Pipe

I have some lt headers sittin in my garage but i dunno what to do. I want my car to be bitchin loud but i also want it to breathe the best i can. I have a cutout right now but here is the question:

Should i buy SpeedInc's X-Pipe package and just do LT with an x, OR should i just grab the ORY and leave the cutout??

I'm also debating high flow cats or not and debating whether or not to get mufflers with the x-pipe.

Anybody got any comments or advise? Thanks

I have had both. You just want to make sure all your bolts and straps are tight all the time and the interior "racket" is not too bad if you take them all the way out the back. Either under or over the axle vs. dumped for not a lot of interior issues with noise.

He does say he wants it "bitchin loud" though.

I know just the cutout alone gets old for me, but some people love the full true duel blare.

You can always get a more restrictive bullet style or chambered muffler if it gets too "bitchin' ".

If an exhaust shop custom makes one....probably 4-6. If you get a universal and do it yourself with a swa and clamps...or a welder. 8-all day.
