I am running 400 RWHP. I have been running this same exhaust system for 10 plus years. I have no complaints, it sounds very mild at idle (although you can tell its not stock) and very good when you get on it. I have Zero to very mild resonance if any. Dwight (DDSLT5) told me years ago it would be good because his brother Kurt was running the setup once upon a time until he went to the darkside.
I have been debating an X pipe. I would probably pick up another 5 hp, but maybe I'd get better sound. The B&B is kinda loud for me and I'm not a big fan of Corsa. I'm not really wanting to change out the whole exhaust system.
Does anybody have an X pipe in a configuration similar to my setup?

LGAFF has this set-up, but I think he has Watson headers..

Good question, I think each persons ears tolerate resonance differently. One might say there is little to no resonance, others may say there is some there, enough to bother you. I have found in my Z (1990, watson headers, 3" magnaflow cats and Borla Challenge system) that there IS resonance, much more noticeable with the roof on and windows closed, it is it there. Is it tolerable, yes, it is on the mild side, but you have the same set-up sans cats (like mine was last year) and the resonance level between cats or no cats is the same..

Where is the fun in that.. in 5 years my 89 vette had 6 or 7 different exhaust combinations.. LOL
