I never knew such a muffler existed, but I would say yes, it could substitute for the x-pipe, since it basically is an x-pipe.

At first I was going to ask what the hell you were talking about, but I found it myself: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-17554/?rtype=10

I'd just have an H-pipe fabbed in and call it a day. It would make it sound and run better... and be cheaper than a whole new setup.

I was actually planning to put it where a muffler in a 'y' pipe setup would go.

I have zero clearance issues whatsoever. Even when I was on 16's, i would drive up onto a cement platform to work on the car, and the tips of the dumps might kiss the edge of it, but i havent scraped the muffler or any of the pipe yet. The setup looks good (with the exception of the mufflers being kinda banged up, I bought them used), but i'd just like it to be mounted in the middle more.

I'd say that a ball/socket combo is about the best. I haven't had great luck with vband clamps, and when it comes to u-clamping and band-clamping you'd better be prepared for leaks. Plus, if you use u-clamps then you actually crimp the pipes together. If you ever want to take them apart you'd better have a torch.
Traditional 3 bolt flanges require a gasket, which from my experience will leak. Ball/socket flange is a 3 bolt but doesn't require a gasket. I will be using ball/socket flanges in my build, which by the way hasn't even begun... but i do have all the parts, lol.
Hope that helps.

Yeah, I've got no problem welding everything together. Everyone on here loses their mind when you say that though. If you've got the tools to cut and re weld then go for it. I still might do that, lol. I haven't had to take my exhaust loose from my headers since 2006, and that was to change exhaust. I've pulled the tranny out, swapped the rear end, put in poly engine mounts, etc. I bet you could even take the engine out from the bottom with the exhaust still hooked up. Weld it up.

I'll most likely have it welded but not on the headers. Right now though I have to have it tucked more. There are 2 points on the exhaust where it sits way too low for me.

So im thinkin of goin trues. Running it off my stock mani and useing my stock cats for the time been till i can save some more money. Running 3'' straight pipes back to some xr-1 muffs. Haven it dumped to 3.5'' turned out tips right in front the rear tiers... cut me a lil screen n the side skirt... for breathing room through the skirt... i think its gonna turn out good. Just an idea im throwing around vs. All the cat back opotions to decide from.

-Custom 3" X-pipe without cats
