Just for the fun/noise of it.....
I took my stock exhaust off my 92 that I wasn't using anyway, and welded in what I call an "H/X pipe"
I have no idea what it will sound like or do to the performance or how it will effect resonance. I'll tell you after the Memorial weekend when I have time to swap out my exhaust. The hole between the two pipes is much bigger than an "H" pipe and doesn't snake down like some X-pipes.

I bet it equalizes flow and works just fine. Yes, sound clip!

It's on and they don't leak. Now I'm waiting for the rain to go away. Still sounds great. If I can't beat them, I sure can scare them. 
This set up makes my beautiful B&Bs sound like a stock exhaust. I'll put them back on when I put the long tubes on. Now I have 3 different exhaust systems for my Vette, normal (OEM), B&Bs, and now loud. So what ever my attitude for the month might be, I'll match it with my exhaust.
