Magnaflow X Pipe...Why---?
Why the new Magnaflow Cat-Back system have two X-Pipes? One in front of the resonator and one inside the resonator?
I'm not an engineer or have a PhD in astrophysics, I know someone out there does. This is just a curiosity

Jeff (one of the Arizona vette' boys- who also has this kit) mentioned to me that he removed the resonator after having it on the car for about a week or two. After i spoke with Jeff, i decided to also have my resonator removed prior to install. the exhaust sounds great! it's very mellow, and completely tolerable.
I don't have heads, I have stock cats, and mine is actually pretty "quite"! it's a nice kit and a very competitive price! I Highly recommend it!
I also recommend ZFdoc.com (Bill) or Exoticmuscle.com (Merle) to install this if you're and AZ local!

The short answer would be that Magnaflow originally designed the exhaust with an external Tru-X and utilizing a resonator, but then decided to use their dual-in dual-out muffler with the Tru-X as a resonator for a cost-cutting measure....
OR... it's a noise cancelling thing.
