Before I or anyone else on this site thought of using x-pipe I replaced the 26" long resonator with two 12" long resonators... It sounds a little off from outside the vehicle due to not having any cross flow equalization, but sounds a little louder in the truck when I get on it. What I want to do and plan on doing sometime in the future is put a 2 in 2 out magnaflow in the center where the resonator was (which would offer cross equalization as well as sound modification) and putting my 12" bullet resonators in place of the current mufflers (to ensure the rasp is at a tolerable level without hindering flow), and some nice rolled lip dual tips on each side. I think that combo will give the sound I'm personally looking for without being too loud or obnoxious, and I might try doing it myself since I got pretty decent with the welder and pipe bender...

And I have yet to see anyone try a dual inlet dual outlet exhaust in place of the resonator with straight pipes after.... so I'm really curious as to how this will sound. I keep thinking of every American V8 SUV/truck I've owned had the muffler (usually flowmaster) center mounted and they all sounded awesome. I've found magnaflow and flowmaster products that will fit the bill and won't break the bank, just gotta have the extra time/money to get around to it.
