off road x pipe on an automatic?
So i have a 2011 5.0 with an auto tranny. I have the flowmaster American thunder axel back and no resonators. I was thinking about getting an off road x pipe but everyone says ill lose alot of low end torque because autos need the back pressure for low end torque as opposed to stick. Is this true? I really want my car to be louder but I don't wanna lose low end torque. Any suggestions on what I can do to my current setup for better sound and performance? Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not well versed in X or H pipes so I need to ask a question. Why don't they use true dual exhaust with no cross over anymore on street cars. If you run open headers at the strip its true dual exhaust. very short exhaust but dual.
If you did that with todays engine would it hurt something motor wise??

Open headers don't need help with pressure, as the headers exit to the open air before or at the same location a crossover would be needed.
I wouldn't hurt the engine, at least not significantly as far as I could think. It would just produce less power and sound worse.
