I have been looking over other posts but did not find an answer to may question.
I am going to have a custom quad exhaust put on my 530i tomorrow. Most people recommend using an x-pipe for low end torque. I am concerned about noise (I want quiet).
Rather than including the X-pipe upstream would a single dual inlet / dual outlet muffler provide the same benefit? Then I could add a circular muffler w/ "Y" tips on each side at the back.

from the X-pipe down, connect use 2 resonators in the piping (will help the drone) for each side
