    Is there any downside to not running a X or H pipe?

    just more noise really, not much performance benefit due to the firing order on the v6.

    Expect the system to drone above speeds of about 90kph

    When i only had extractors and aftermarket mufflers on my na, i had a huge terrible drone. I got a cat forward system with a center muffler and rear mufflers (magnaflow) and i have no drone now. I am a much happier person now :) The old system was terrible.

    jury's out on this one

    If the note is the only potential downside I may risk it.

    I thought i read somewhere you can isolate which turbo is burning oil with a straight through setup, anything else it may be helpful with?
