You might want to hear it in person because I tried my pypes catless x without cats with my SLP loudmouths and it was just stupid loud. I had cats back on it within 20 minutes. I am 100% pleased with my catted pypes xpipe and slp loudmouths though.

Most people who have this set-up are disappointed. It will be loud but also very raspy. If you want the O/R X then get a straight thru muffler such as magnapacks, stingers, bassaini race or SLP proflos just to name a few. If you want the pypes violators then stick with the stock H pipe, O/R H pipe or a prochamber.

Violators are a straight through muffler, FYI.

I had them with the Pypes Off Road H and the sound was awesome, and really loud. I just got in a bit of trouble and had to quiet it down for a while.

The videos with the X sound ok, but I assume there is a lot of drone and rasp with that setup.

Some have fitment issues with Pypes. I did not. It's either that it's hit and miss, or their products just require a bit more adjustment than most.
