What size pipe/mufflers???

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwDOF...eature=related
What size pipe should I use if i want to run true duals with an x-pipe and two magnaflow mufflers. I wanna run either 6x14 or 4x14 round bodies. Questions: 1)Is there any smaller round bodies and where can i find round bodies for cheap? 2) I was reading up on high flows and saw alls these diff part numbers...whats the difference in them. and 3) Would an H pipe be louder than and x-which is better for performance
The vid clip is what im aiming for. actually a little bit louder but still deep. thank again guys.

First off the video you posted is a Y pipe which does not sound like true duals. But you should run 2.5 inch piping.

1. to retain performance and low end power, 2.25" is the best for true duals. I dont like the raspy sound from 2.25" pipes so I prefer 2.5" pipes X piped, and have some performance modifications planned in the future so it works out.

2. 14" is the shortest round bodies. The 4" round case will be louder, the 6" case will have a slight deeper note to it. Performance Peddler is the cheapest to purchase exhaust compounents from.

3. Three part # cats will fit, 94306, 94006, and 94106. The 94306 is a 12" long t-304 case cat that frees up to 70% volume. 94006 is less restricted than the 94306, T-409 stainless ( not shiny ) and allows a couple decibles more of noise. 94106 is the shortest ( 9" ) and resonates no sound at all, sounding near cat-less volume.

4. Yes an H pipe is louder than an X pipe, but very very hardly.

5.
