There would be almost a third less pipe with the cross flow. I think the cut back would make use of stock cut outs for the sidemount (jdm vehicles), so no cutting would be required. It would also make use of the stock cold pipe in that case (hence why its not even more expensive I'm sure). I would think you would only want to order this if you were too lazy to relocate your battery/cut a hole in the battery tray.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
And thanks for taking the time to answer questions Drew.
