I'm thinkin' X-pipe is why. Dumps wont make that much difference. It will just make it louder in the car.

Could I have my muffler shop fab a straight pipe to the muffler instead of a h/x pipe? Would it make a big difference?

I disagree, the H-pipe is louder at idle but not at wot, I have longtubes an x pipe dumped and its really loud.
and dumps make a very big difference in how loud it is, cut it off after the mufflers and leave them pointing straight back it will be LOUD.

but a H/C/I package will louden it up lots too.

My car was hella loud last year, I had heads, cam, gt40 manifolds, bbk shorties, or h-pipe, and 2.5" duals that dumped to 40 series straight out, just before the rear end. It was loud in the car, literally shook the damn, but didn't seem SO loud outside, but it was definitley LOUD.

This year I went carbed, and I'm picking up some longtubes, an OR h or x pipe and possibly doing 3" duals, dumped before the rear end, but probaly pointing down. Still loud, but I heard you loose a lot of HP by going over the axle.
