Well there isn't a whole lot of room from the end of my headers to the back of the car (about 18 inches or so to play with) so I was planning to go with an H pipe connecting around the end of my collectors. The thing is I know that an H-pipe just isn't as efficient as an X-pipe and that was really bugging me. All of the X-pipe mufflers I saw were WAY too long to work for me, so I thought, why not. I'll make one (with the help of a good welder I know).
So, I just placed an order for a stainless steel X-pipe that's about 12" long total (see image). I'll cut some stainless sheet to go around it, drill about a bazillion holes into the X-pipe, fabricate oval ends about 9" wide and 5" deep to weld the sheet metal to and put some sound deadening material in.
I'll share what it ends up looking like later. Just thought I'd put this here so folks might think about it for them as well.
