X-pipe eliminates exhaust drone?
I heard that muffler & resonator delete does not make any drone if I install an X-pipe.
Is it true?
Please, share your experience of eliminating drone with X-pipe.

Not true.The X-pipe purpose is to keep the left and right bank exhaust pulse in sync. In which helps with scavenging of dead bodies.

*Mr OP said no mufflers. So I will stick to my original comment. X-pipe will not stop the "drone"

Thank you for your replies.
OK ... the conclusion is X-pipes don't eliminate drone completely but helps a little ... right?
Actually, I have stock exhaust system except Super sprint mufflers, which makes slight bearable drone. I prefer the following set up because I really want more sound.
Stock primary cats -> X-pipe (2nd cats delete) -> Straight pipes (resonator delete) -> Super sprint mufflers
But I don't want more drone ... so, I'm thinking of the following exhaust options.
1) Stock primary cats -> X-pipe (2nd cats delete) -> Stock resonator -> Super sprint mufflers
2) Stock primary cats -> 2nd cats -> X-pipe (resonator delete) -> Super sprint mufflers
What do you think about the above options?
Which option will make less drone? Comment please!

I later deleted my mufflers. I loved the sound but their was alot of drone. I was ok with it but my wife did not. I then replaced the resonator with borla pro xs mufflers. The result is a perfect. There is nominal drone just like when I was all stock but with kleeman headers/downpips. I have the best of both worlds from his setup... nominal drone inside and great exhaust sound on the outside that I love to hear. Now my exhaust is: kleeman headers->kleeman downpipe (which deleted the primary cats) ->the stock secondary cats and stock H pipe exhaust setup down by the transmission-> borla pro xs mufflers-> stock exhaust tips.
Good luck OP.

If OP has no mufflers, like me. Then to drastically, and I mean drastically, remove the drone you can replace the stock resonator with a borla pro xs muffler like I did. When I was all stock exhaust, I replaced the stock headers with the Kleeman headers and downpipe. There was drone from that, but it was minor/nominal and I loved the increased power from the kleeman.

You mean Tru-X perforated core muffler?

Is this correct size?
Otherwise please recommend correct size.

I have Kleeman headers with no cats.....at all. Magnaflow x-pipe with resonator delete. In line dual 12" SS resonators to the factory mufflers. I've been buying my resonators from this guy out of Indiana for years.
Not much drone. Kinda Nascar, though. lol

Man, I bet it sounds sweet. Borla makes a lower tone that is hard to beat.

If the x pipe is on the stock piping it shouldn't be that expensive
It's when you have 3" custom piping where it can be time consuming to cut and fit and weld
I had a custom 3" H pipe made and recently changed to the x pipe much better for our platform
