True Duals Are Finally In!! 
got them in today at 8, was dine by 1. i was there the whole time. My buddy did that work. Anyways here is my set up.
3" off the Manifolds going into a 3" Magnaflow O/R X Pipe of the X pipe 3" going UNDER the axel into 2 2.5" Magnaflow MagnaPack mufflers out the back
Start up, wow does it have a rumble to it. driving it, there is a tiny bit of rasp to it. in the car it is loud, out side it seems sort of quiet. but crusing inside LOUD.
i did loose some low end TQ as expected. I really have not had a chance to get on it, only up to 70. It pulls but that not that hard, prolly needed to keep going with it. when will i see the car pulling?? with the X i gain top end tq right??
Now my true duals was not mandrel bent
but the was a total of 10 crushes, 5 on each side. but when it was crushed, it made that part of the pipe I would say 2.75"now my dumbass forgot my camera this morning
i will have to get some pics later when i get it on a lift. i will also get some sound clips too.All in all very happy with it!!!!!

so basically you removed EVERYTHING from the manifolds back (including cats) and replaced it with the 3" orx? if so, you should notice gains, but as i said...i think you'd notice more from removing the cats than switching from gmmg to true duals.

at idle much louder, crusing much loder, at WOT in the car it is sort of quiet were as the GMMG screamed. while crusing a little bit of both what you said.
