Stainless Works Long Tube Headers and Catback Exhaust
I'm looking at the Stainless Works performance connect long tube headers paired with their performance connect catback exhaust for my new 2018 5.0 Platinum. Ultimately this will get paired with the new Whipple supercharger once it gets released. What are your thoughts on the Stainless Work performance connect long tube headers and their performance catback exhaust?

The Stage3 Black Friday deal brings this down to a more palatable $2200.
The Lightning style exit in front of rear tire only has a single X-muffler while the behind the rear tire has two separate mufflers. I like the exit in front of the rear tire but would prefer two separate mufflers.
Any input on which would be better with a Whipple?

The Performance Connect Headers have an x-pipe and then the Performance connect front of tire exhaust has an x-muffler. What I haven't been able to find out is if with the front of tire setup the true x-pipe is removed thereby pushing the x-muffler forward. The pictures on the Stainless Works website are not helpful so I tried calling Stainless Works. The person on the phone didn't have a clue other than what I already knew. I can't imagine that they are running an x-pipe and an x-muffler together but I haven't been able to find out. I was also thinking about the rear exit and then modding the two mufflers to meet my needs. Without good pictures it is hard to make a decision.

resonator muffler. The factory connect version uses a Y then two in two out muffler.
Not it sure why two X’s in the perf system but that’s what it says?

The two X's is the issue I am having. In the pictures the front of the wheel x-muffler is much longer than the two mufflers in the behind the wheel configuration so I am thinking that the true x-pipe is deleted and replaced by the x-muffler with the front of the wheel setup. Good pictures would make it a lot easier.

Well I just pulled the trigger on the Stainless Works Performance Connect Headers and Performance Connect Cat Back that exits behind the wheel.
