Anyone have experience with Double X-Pipes ?

Anyone ever try a double x-pipe exhaust on a 5th Gen? Sounds like they might have benefits of reducing drone and creating a unique exhaust sound. No performance gain expected, just a sound change I'm guessing. Some have posted on other forums that they give a small gain in low-end TQ and a small loss of peak HP due to the extra turbulance created.

Wondering if this could be either an alternative to J-Pipes, or possibly a way to create an exotic exhaust sound?

I really know zip about these, but ran across some posts on a G8 forum. Wondering if any in our forum have tried this setup.

Here's a G8 running double x-pipes with resonators in between:
