I did have a x pipe muffler at one time, but see no change since I replaced it with a regular dido muffler
I have a 07 with 5.7l Hemi I'm looking at getting a set of shorty's back to hiflow cats. But from that point I want to come off each header with a single pipe and cherry bomb on both pipe and dump out in front of the rear tire. trying to get the straight pipe sound and look while dealing with emissions. Do i really need a dido muffler or with that set up work?

If you want to dump out one side I know it will work that way. I'm not sure about dumping out both sides since the gas tank comes in to play on the drivers side. But you could indeed use two glasspacks and dump out the passenger with no problems. Check it out with a muffler shop and see if there's enough clearance on the drivers side Good luck
