Default Anyone do two X-pipes?

I just installed the stainless works header system and hooked it up to my current exhaust but I will be getting a xpipe. I can't decide if I want the stainless works Xpipe there is no picture of it so it's hard to decide from that or the flowmonster.

My question is since the flowmonster is so short has anyone put one in then 6-8" of pipe then another flowmonster all of that would fit where the resonator is.

BTW it's a lt4 CE

No need for one either..

It only smooths out the exhaust pulses rather like an H-pipe in the old days. The advantage is minimal for a street car. Decent dual system is all that's needed.

I did an X and an H on a car once since I was curious and I do all my own exhaust. It didn't make the car sound any different.
