But yes the X-pipe will help reduce the poping

Yep. All aftermarket exhaust have some popping without the x pipe. I have the RT 66 with the Magnaflow x pipe. No popping now.

I have a 2000 with the same exhaust. Also had the same problem as you, as well as a lot of resonance in 6th gear. Installed a Bassani X-pipe and things are so much more livable. Really reduced the resonance and the popping, while still there, has been reduced significantly.

I got the same set up much better and the x pipe gives you a few more hp.

x pipe
I have the B&B Bullets. I installed my x pipe this past weekend. It removed most of the popping.
