Default X pipe w/ cats question

i was thinking about getting a X pipe w/ cats, but before I do I wanted to make sure it won't have alot of drone at cruising speeds compared to a H pipe. I've recently swaped out my O/R H pipe for a stock h pipe and i nevermined the drone at all.

I have had h and x pipes with no drone. I believe its all in the mufflers.

either catted pipe should keep the drone to a minimum, the stock H will be quieter though.
