Default True Duals...some questions re my setup

I have 3" Magnaflow true duals, custom stainless with an x-pipe. The drivers side prob has twice as much pipe as the pass due to the stock routing until post axle, then around the spare and out the rr (see pix in sig). Cats are gutted. Sounds great, but a cpl of questions I'm wondering about:
1. Drivers side is cool to the touch, even after 2hrs of driving...flows feels pretty even...normal?
2. Alternative routing options? I realise that fewer bends is better...
3. Is my X-pipe in the proper location between mufflers and cats?

1) My stainless steel cools pretty quick...takes about 20 mins for it to be warm-cool to the touch after a drive...however, the cats stay hot for a while.
2) Whatever fits your style...your X-pipe helps balance everything out so no worries.
3) X-pipe placement is between the cats and mufflers correct....whereever the heat is the hottest....you're supposed to put some paint and where ever the paint peels off is where the crossover should be placed.
