I want to go back to no muffler only with an x-pipe this time and not sure how i can make that work while still keeping the stock cats in place

I have 2.5 inch true duals, a h pipe, and no mufflers and 24 inch magnaflow tips. It beats the hell out of the other 2 systems I have had on my truck, and sounds good.

Well I just took off my 2.5" straight pipes w/a x-pipe, and installed a maggie x and 2 14" magnapacks, and the torque gain is phenominal, they outperform the straight pipes 24/7. They are a little quieter, but they are deeper and have a nice mellow tone. muffler>straight pipes period, look into research. I thought the same thing, but all the noise was getting to my head and making me think it was better, now with a real exhaust I can tell the truck is "stouter". Both my setup vids are below.

If you are refering to there new chambered muffler line they are very similar to the flowbastard. They sound good, and rumble nice, but have the same characteristics of the FM. For the price if you are goin for a loud setup, the maggie 14" magnapacks are a steal, at $52 apiece, for a stainless muffler, you can't beat them.
