IMO
X pipes will be more of a raspier and a higher pitched sound , where as the H pipe will be mor of a deeper and throatier sounding.

Where H pipe is a deeper and louder at idle and rumble's at WOT.

But that's just

Mufflers are a big part of the sound. But mid pipes and headers do make a sound difference as well.
