Custom piping is not going to increase anything or outperform one from magnaflow, for instance.
There's a lot of people that are making it sound a lot more difficult and complicated than it needs to be.

I went with the x-pipe and the small Magnaflow resonators on the recommendation of a couple of folks here. My goal was a bit more power but still quiet. The resonators are much smaller than the big moster piece from factory so there's absolutely no reason the car should have lost power with supposedly less restriction. But rather than spend more bad money to try the x with out the resonators, which would have meant more custom pipe work, I just went to the h-pipe crossover. Tried and true technology and easier to fab up than another x-pipe. Perhaps the x by itself might have worked but I wasn't going to take the chance.
