Remove X-pipe or Mufflers??
I have a custom exhaust that was made for me with mandrel bend, xpipe, and magnaflows mufflers and I was wondering if I remove the xpipe or the mufflers would the car be faster? I'm thinking that keeping both the xpipe and mufflers is to much back pressure and slowing me down. What do you guys think? maybe removing the mufflers and keeping the xpipe would make the car faster(also lighter) because the xpipe will make some back pressure in the middle of the car and from their it leaves quick.
is that a good idea? or just removing the xpipe is better? is it even worth it? any advice would be helpful PS: I have catless downpipes

unless you want it louder, might as well keep 'em
depending on the Magnaflow mufflers you installed they should be straight thru, and baffled like the stock ones. so removing them or the x-pipe will make the car louder and i dont think you will release much back pressure build up.
here is a picture i found online of one similar to what i have installed. if you have the slimmer muffler that they specifically sell for this car it is the same just no curve.
