Default 1993 Resonator vs x pipe (video)

Both videos are with magnaflow mufflers, which one do you think sounds better?

With Resonator

No resonator, x pipe

For me it is hard to get a real sound from a video clip, but from what I can hear I like the X pipe better.

To me it sounds like the resonator has more of an individual puff for each cylinder, where the x pipe is smoother with a lower rumble/roar.

You have heard them both in person. Which do you like and how would you describe the differences?

Edit:
I forgot to say that I like the X pipe one better too.

X pipe for not just sound but performance.

A 2 into 1, back to 2 is NOT dual exhaust. It is no different what so ever than a single muffler that has two tail pipes on the outlet. It looks good sure, but dual? Hell no it isn't.

X pipe for sure.

Side question, what are you filming with a GoPro? If so, is there a special setup you use? When I mount mine to the back I cant get a clean sound like your video.

I'd go with the one that creates none or less drone.

It is a gopro, I used the waterproof case with the open back piece. If you get the frame it should work as well.
