You can't really run an X-pipe since the exhaust system is already a Y-pipe system so that would be pointless. You only need to run X-pipes on a true dual system. If you have already deleted 2nd cats then you have done pretty much everything you can other than running shorty headers, and running high flow primaries (300-cell metal cores shouldn't cause CEL). If you need high performance headers for your CLK, feel free to contact us for more details.
Here is a graphic to explain it:

If it ran through the muffler it wouldent call it straight pipes, no muffler no secondary cats no resinators all noise. in the stock system right after the secondary cats a Y pipe is made, in my system the y pipe is replaced with a H pipe and the result is constant true dual flow

Damn.......that would sound super loud, no? Your set-up leave no back pressure at all and would help top end power greatly but torques will suffer.
