Default X-pipe or true duals?

I have a slight problem, my new longtubes have 3" collectors with no flanges and the x pipe i have is 2.5" with flanges, so i was thinkn to either run 3 inch pipes to the mufflers or cut the flanges on the x pipe and have some one weld a custom reducer in. What do ya think will be better?

Why is there no flanges on the LTs?

I would defintatly get the xpipe in there somehow. Your going to gain more HP with the x than just with straightpipes.

yep he said it , the x equilizes the pressure between the 2 tubes causing better flow... and sound

How much power you think ill loose with true duals over the x pipe? I thought w/ duals it would sound alot ruffer? Ya i bought pacesetter lngtbs they are cheap so that prob y no flanges.
