This is true! The closer to the headers the worse it sounds. Open headers make the car sound like shi*/cheap old truck. there is no room any where right before the exhaust. With the x-pipe you are going to need 2. The best place to but them is right before the rear axle or before the pipes bend up over the axle. any forward will be annoying. And exhaust leaking up into the cabin is not only unsafe im sure you dont want ur car smelling like exhaust.
If you have them with manifolds there will be more droning and a deeper sound. not as loud. If you have them with longtubes it will have more of a higher raspy pitch, like a nascar.
Also if you plan on having them open for most of the time the important thing to do is get your car tuned for them other wise ur not getting the potential out of your car. being that this will be your daily driver is no reason to ignore getting an aftermarket exhaust for the extra horses. There are plenty of aftermarket exhaust that are not loud that improve the same gains. If your planning on doing Longtubes and cut out its a good idea to spend a lil extra on just getting full exhaust. Btw you dont have to spend a grand on exhaust in fact if you do your paying too much!!
