With the removal of the resonators, the exhaust will naturally be louder. Using an x pipe will quiet down the exhuast system and produce a much smoother tone in comparison to just running straight pipes.

Ahhh technical answer from those in-the-know, exactly the kind of input I was after - cheers Mr Hustle, your a star!
So, basically it would even-out the pulses, smoothing out the flow-rate and soften the sound. This could be good then; I'm wanting to remove the big 7 AND A HALF KILO (EEK!), resonator to improve sound and remind me i'm driving a V8 (hehe, yeah i'm a big kid
), but I don't want it to sound too raspy. But I'm hoping now that an x-pipe won't also detract too much of that "regained V8 music". Otherwise I'll then have to look into new mufflers too.
