Does the stock resonator that the x-pipe replaces have a crossover in it?

Not really, it is 2 perforated tubes straight through with all the stuffing/baffling around them. So they're not fully separated but not fully connected.

Ok, so there is some pressure stabilization between cylinder banks. The reason I was asking was because I've heard straight pipes (no crossover) is actually louder than with a crossover. Heard any x5s with a straight pipe mod as opposed to x pipe?
