So it should be bareable with an x pipe? Before or after the mufflers?

X pipe goes before the mufflers, in place of where the stock Y pipe is. Chop off the rear 2 cats. This will be pretty loud....

I've heard that the bullets have a real bad interior drone. I drive a 40 mile round trip all interstate everyday for work. Would a x pipe make it bareable even with two race bullets?

Well I guess that answers my questions. Probably going to search around the web for dynomax bullets for a good price. Amazon has them for $37 each and advance autoparts has them for I think $50. Should I buy an x pipe from a web site or from the muffler shop? Going to have them splice in an x pipe before the mufflers and replace my current ones with two dynomax race bullets and keep my current pipes and tips. What length should the mufflers be to reduce interior drone?

Buy any stainless X pipe. If your really worried about drone, get the bigger 18" bullets.
