Default LT header question

i know there have been a ton of questions about long tubes lately. so sorry. but if i get long tubes do i have to have a X or H pipe or can it still be straight divorced? and which would make better sounding exhaust?

i've just never heard of anyone doing divorced with long tubes.

thanks

DO NOT RUN A Y IF YOUR GOING TO BOTHER WITH LONG TUBES.. thats retarded...

straight pipes usually dont sound very good simply because of the timing between cylinder fires... if your only listening to one bank in each muffler it kinda sound odd..

an h pipe will balance the sound, and it also helps with backpressure
