The cat-back RULES; the X-pipe is . The reason for the X-pipe sucking is because there's no hangers to hold it up by the tranny crossmember, so you'll inevitably wind up jacking up the thing and re-tightening the midpipe flange bolts every week or two. Trust me, this is one of the several headaches I was dealing with when I was running a UPR X-pipe on my notch, which is of exactly the same design as the Pypes X-pipe.
Again, however, their Violator cat-back absolutely RULES.

It's a thing of taste. That, or perhaps a difference in setups. Doesn't sound like glasspacks at all on mine, but I'm running a slightly different X-pipe and stock headers. Mine has a bit of a hollow sound to it, a-la Spintechs and Flowmasters, but more of a roar at WOT and just a bit of drone at 1,700 RPM (my cruising RPM's are between 2,000 and 2,300 RPM with 4.10's, so no drone for me).
Cherry Bombs/Glasspacks have that snappy/poppy sound to 'em at all speeds and RPM's, and they sound like a wet elephant fart in slow-motion at WOT - even Dynomax Bullets don't sound that horrible.
Got any sound clips/video of yours with the full Pypes system? It'd be interesting to hear if it's that significantly different than a Violator cat-back only or pieced-together setup. I'd like to post some of my own, but I can never quite come up with a means of getting good sound quality from a video recording...
