Best exhaust setup with magnacharger

I am running ARH 1 7/8", no cats, dual 3" all the way back. My dual Magnaflows don't drone under low load/cruise conditions, but they are plenty loud under any acceleration. Looks like the headers are awfully close to, if not rubbing on the steering column now that the new engine mounts have levelled out.
Not sure of any performance benefit(scavenging) to an X with a blower. Anyone notice a change in sound after adding an X? BTW...I believe the internal X Magnaflow is 2.5" pipe internally even though the inlets/outlets are 3".

What length magnaflows did you go with? How loud are they just putting around a neighborhood?

I'm cutting the cutouts out and adding a couple of resonators and an X pipe back in. It's all going in between the headers and the Magnaflows. I'm hoping it will be closer to quiet at cruise. I don't mind the noise accelerating, but I've had my fill of this exhaust that never shuts up. I don't hear too good to start with, so passengers have to scream for me to understand them. Gets old quick.
