MagnaFlow as well as some others make a muffler that has the crossflow built into it eliminating the x pipe.

I used a magnaflow X pipe, not the muffler one just a plain old 2.5" universal X pipe on my 5.9. Can`t speak to any sound difference cause I did my whole exhaust at once.... but I can say you should stay away from magnaflow cats if you have to pass emissions sniff tests where you are

That`s the same X pipe I used
I can`t recommend any aftermarket cats... my only experience is with magnaflow. I bought a pair of 94006`s 2 years ago and I just failed my emissions test twice
I think I might go with walker to replace them

When Ihad my mustang i too wandered if it was worht the switch, but when i swapped from an h pipe to an x pipe, it sounded a lot better, raspy but in a good way. Are you going to be running cats? If not you`ll notice a bigger difference in sound.

again I can`t speak for any sound difference cause I did it all at once.... performance gains were nothing spectacular, it sounds great tho

It wont sound bad with cats, you just notice the difference more without them, its mostly person preference.
