I was thinking having the Y-Pipe cut off, put an X-Pipe in its place w/Flowmaster 40series

check out rpmoutlet.com...they have the pypes exhaust system w/ an x-pipe and pro-v mufflers. They are similar to flowmaster 40's. If you want LOUD you should go w/o cats, but that depends on emission standards for your area. Also, make sure you get the pro-v mufflers because, for some reason, some people get the maxi-mizers which are very quiet.

X-pipe will sound better. But you really don't need a crossover of any kind. The 3.8 is a balanced engine.

If you're in Cali, NO WAY! It wouldn't make it past the visual inspection.
