Default Double X-Pipe?

Has anyone tried a double x-pipe custom exhaust? I am very interested in doing something like this in order to quiet it a little more than Hameed and DX3's exhausts. I remember reading something from LMS that was similar and it should be deeper with no or little drone. I was unable to find it by doing a search unfortunately though. Here is what I was thinking:

S&S Headers into;
2.5" Straight Stainless for approx. 8" into;
2.5" Stainless Magnaflow X Pipe into;
2.5" Straight Stainless for approx. 24-30" into;
2.5" Straight/Bent Stainless into;
2 Magnaflow Mufflers into Chrome tips (unsure of mufflers and tips)

What I am looking for is something very quiet yet still free flowing with an aggressive tone under hard acceleration. I know its wanting the best of both worlds, I definitely want the power increase, but dont want the sound of a mean V8 sounding car. As cool as it sounds, it just wouldn't be for me. Do you exhaust experts think this would be possible? Otherwise what could I do to be a bit quieter than Hameed's or DX3's? I thought about adding more resonators or something, I have no idea. Any help or input is greatly appreciated. I will definitely do a detailed write-up on whichever route I go so people can have yet another alternative.
