Default Anyone switch from Pypes MM to another AB?

Has anyone switched from the Pypes MM to another AB muffler? I just had the Kooks LT's in stalled with catted h-pipe and it sounds great at idle and a bit of load but at WOT throttle it trumpets very loud. Just not sure if I like the sound or not. Unfortunately I was not smart enough to keep the original parts when the MM was installed so I'd have to replace some piping if I switch to a different AB. Just curious if anyone has made the switch.

Tombstand - I think you are right. I've listened to some clips of my exact same set-up but with the x and they sound a lot better.

I'm working on getting some sound clips.

Kooks LT, with Kooks high-flow cat/x-pipe, with pypes MM is the perfect sound to me...

Not my car...
