X pipes do not increase or reduce back pressure.
Back pressure can be checked with a pressure gauge tapped into any part of the exhaust system.
X or H pipes help to tune the exhaust pulses between banks, but it is not a necessity.
All IC engines have reversion.
True dual exhaust will not lose power on a V type engine unless the pipe diameter is too big for the engine's operating range. Bigger is not always better.
Rule of thumb for V-6 is 2" ID Single or dual.
Bench flowing heads has nothing to do with checking for back pressure in your exhaust system.
