Yes your problem is the X-pipe and the mufflers..
The X-pipe does cancel out the exhaust pulses

when selecting a muffler..
keep this in mind..
the shorter the muffler the louder it will be, the longer the muffler the quiter it will be.
a 19 inch muffler will be more quite than a 13 inch muffler.. for example

 

So would an x-pipe with 2 Dynomax bullets be a good sound level or is the x-pipe killing the sound that much? How is that x-pipe effecting performance, low end torque / high end hp ??

 

damn...i wish id have known all this before i had it put on

 

X-pipe killed low end Torque on mine..
on the bullets.. I dont know how long they are, but as stated above the shorter they are the louder they will be..
now it will still be quiter than a dual setup with out an x pipe, but if you have to have the x-pipe I would suggest looking at a short muffler,
You could check out IMCO mufflers..
very similar to Flowmasters, but are better IMO
I havnt had a problem with them, and there are several memebers on here using them..

 

xpipe helps with low end torque. long tube headers help with high rpm hp.

 

...lol....you know guys.....I get the feeling that this thread is going to turn into a **** slinging thread on the pros and cons of an X-Pipe vs. H-Pipe showdown.....

It's just the law of the west....lol.....

 

Just screw it and put you in an "O" Pipe!!!

 

lol...good call.....I think he should go for the Peace Pipe.....he,he,he,he,...

 

I am running lt's, 2.5 x-pipe, no cats , two single chamber flows and adaul side exits. It has a quiet idle but its really loud at wot. I've had several pro comments on it. But on my 4.8 stock w/ a high flow intake only i think i lost a little low end torgue and top i high no complaints.
