Default BBK vs PYPES = O/R X
I'm currently running a BBK O/R X but at certain rpm levels it gets annoying. The sound is loud and aggressive but not refined.
I'm thinking if I switch from the clam style X 2 a true style X the sound should improve some what.

Opinions?

From what i hear it should be a little more refined sounding, and not as raspy. I ran a BBK o/r x for like a day (plus i have some very loud mufflers) and it was so loud and raspy it wasn't even funny.
