Default which X-Pipe (T.P.I.S. headers)

Hey guys I've had some TPIS headers sitting in the garage for a while now and want to get around to installing them. Can anyone recommend an x-pipe to use? What about the x-pipe that comes with the ebay headers? Would it work? Can you buy it seperate? Just need some info...thanks guys!

I have the TPIS long tubes also on my '99 with an H up front and a Bassani Crossover X pipe into Corsa indys in the back. I love it. I dont have cats though. Seems to flow pretty well.

I used to run this combo, I wish I still did actually. Gave me a nice increase in torque!

Go with a x-pipe like this over two pipes welded together, the bassani is a "true" X-pipe.
