X-Pipe location in place of sec cats and res

HI,
Does it matter were to put the X-pipe when deleting the secondary cats and deleting the resonator. When both are deleted, were should the x-pipe go. Should the x-pipe go were the cats would be or should it be towards the back were the resonator is.
What would the sound difference be in regards to if its in the middle vs towards the rear.

no sound difference but youre supposed to put it as close to the front of the car as possible.

Mine, also notice how they went over the brace, some shops simply remove the body brace.

The dumb questions are the ones don't get asked...right? So, deleting the sec. cats is that going to require some program work from a technician or is it simply "remove and play"? Thanks.
