That's an interesting take on it, considering that for the past 20 years, H-pipes and straight pipes are what you used to make exhaust loud. The X-pipes tend to mute the volume and give a more exotic sound, similar to 180* headers without the complexity. Of course I'm talking about same pipe diameter, material, and cat configuration. I think that "loud as shit" sound comes from cheap catless X-pipes with whatever insane mufflers are flavor de jour.

I'm not sure I would change it up, as GT500s sound great on otherwise stock exhaust. IMO.
