The magnaflow one I just looked at is a muffler. So if I'm understanding this right, that would be my x pipe and muffler, correct? No need for my Flowmaster.

Can anyone verify. The magnaflow 11386 resonated x pipe, will be a good x pipe/muffler selection? I'm going with long tube headers an hi flow cats.

That's correct. May I also suggest the Magnaflow 12568. It's a bigger muffler and will be a tick quieter then the 4*9 you listed. The headers are going to make it loud.

Here's a video of my truck running the Magnaflow 12568 (has built in x-pipe, with true dual 2.5" exhaust, hi-flow cats, long tube headers, and a X-pipe.
Keep in mind in this video the exhaust is hooked to plumbing leading outside and it's still plenty loud.

That sounds good. So in that setup there is 2 x-pipes? From everything I'm reading they say not to do that, only need 1.

I decided just to go my own way . I'm going with the long tube an hi flow cats, a x pipe and 2 glass pack cherry bomb type mufflers. Pending whether I scoop up a cat back set up cheap, I found a used set up on Craigslist for 175, needs a adapter on tailpipe so I'll try an negotiate it for 100 (only cause new set up is 190 on ebay) or may just do the lightning style at the front of the tire. That sound like a ok route to take?

I downloaded the garage talk app, seems to be working now, and much easier to use then the previous app. if anyone has any suggestions on exhaust, please let me know. I'm waiting on income tax, then going to order it all.

I am running the Magnaflow Tru-X DI/DO muffler with dual MF 4"x18" tips exiting out the same side, love it to death, got it put on almost two years ago, still smile just as big every time I start her up and drive her... My only suggestion is to look into the hi-flow cats, I'm going that route bc I don't have the money right now for the longtubes and for someone to tune it for me since the O2 sensors would be gone with the longtubes

I'm not sure yet what to do with a x pipe. some say run the Magnaflow tru x muffler but I'm lost on whether that will act as a muffler then, or need other ones. I'm going long tube an hi flow cats, with the lockout kit an tuner so I'll have the tunes done.
