Default how would i do this?

I have a 01 silverado z71 with true dual glasspacks....I've been looking around and i've heard a few good things about runnin x-pipe underneath but i don't know where i would weld that up at? Would i weld it up in the middle of the cats and the glasspacks? Also i'm goin to add some longtube headers to go along with it.

After the cats, before the 'packs... You could also do an H-Pipe, cheaper and easier, but not quite as beneficial.

I don't know... It has to be welded, I know that. I'd have to see your set-up in person.
