X pipe is making noise

Well after 6 months with Xpipe installed + Remus, I decided to remove the X pipe and put back the original the original silencer. With cold wheather X pipe started to make weird noises while cold. When warm up there´s no wierd noises only beautiful engine sound. Anyway I´m fed up of hearing those noises every morning so X pipeless will be.
Have heard some complains here about X pipe cold noises, how´s going for those who made the X pipe mod last year?

Strange. I've had it 18 months and it is never made a wrong sound in hot or cold weather. Mine is a Magnaflow, not made in a shop. Good luck!

I've had a Magnaflow for quite a while too with no problems. It does "burble" a bit sometimes when I first start driving after a previous warm up, but it's a good sound, not an unwelcome sound at all...

Mine was doing a noise like if it had a coin inside the tube going up and down with exhaust flow. Just removed it 1 hour ago, sound is not so pleasant now, but while cold there´s no more coin sound

Welds were in good shape, but I´ve been warned by other members who had the X pipe mod, that during the winter this could happen, and it did. Only on cold days it makes this noise, after it warms up there´s no noise at all. I may consider intalling the magnaflow X pipe, seems everybody is happy with it, mine was custom made.
Difference in sound is noticeble, I´m already missing it, Remus alone does not give enought rumble.
