I had true duals with series 50 Flowmaster Stainless mufflers on my 95 Jasper built 5.8 that sounded fantastic. Go to a shop that has their own tubing bender and offer to do a cash deal.

Hi everyone, I'm wanting to get true dual straight pipes with an X-pipe but until I can find somewhere to do that I was curious if it would be safe to just cut my muffler and back off? Would the pipe end up being to short and mess up the engines back pressure? Would there be anything else that could go wrong with that?

Besides sounding IMO not the greatest, there won't be a problem. Don't cut it crazy short and risk burning valves, but farther back like you're talking about is fine. As for the "truck needs backpressure to run right" line of thought, read here:

You need to find "Bubba's Friendly Muffler Shop" and pay CASH! Most of these small, back woods shops will do it if you pay cash and don't ask for a receipt and swear that you'll never tell anyone that he did it.
It's very much illegal here in Louisiana too. However, times are tough and money talks.
