DACH Cat X-pipe Installed (pic)
To start, the DACH product is outstanding, to repeat other's comments the xpipe with cats are like artwork. 
My muffler guy, who makes headers from scratch was very impressed with the workmanship! Of course, I HAD to buy some new tips so chose the Dansk.
I went to a local muffler shop that has done alot of great work for me in the past. I was lazy and wanted the convenience of the lift...it was an easier process than I thought it would be...I did most of the removal of stock parts in 45 min. Would have been quicker had I not broken the head off one of the heat exchanger flange bolts.
I'd better stick to my deskjob! Originally, I was worried it would take a bunch of time if we had to loosen the actual heat exchangers (but did not need to!). My muffler guy did the install and everything lined up just perfect..it just slipped in, the 02 sensor bungs were just like stock in terms of placement, and it was nice to have DACH provide new bolts & gaskets.
RESULTS: Just as Chris @DACH had said, there is a little more volume at idle, noticeable increase in volume as you start to accelerate from a stop, but not too much if below 3k rpm. At freeway speeds, if you get into the throttle hard, this is where you will enjoy the new sounds!
Tomorrow I will have more time to put it through the test but at this point I am very pleased with my purchase! Thanks Chris!

And thank you Brad Glad you like them, now go out and drive and enjoy
I can't take all the credit though. David (DA) does all the masterful welding, I'm just the cut monkey
If you really drive it hard for a while, they'll patina up really nicely to a bronze with purple accents.
