Default Bullets Question - X pipe..does it REALLY help?

someone please tell me exactly how the x pipe helps and improves the bullet exhaust system. does it chill it out a bit? does it really help reduce cabin noise? or any of the other things it is claimed to do? i have about 30 minutes to make up my mind if i am adding the x pipe to the install today or not. PLEASE HELP!!!!

it's not gonna make a huge difference. if you do a price/gain comparison the x will come out behind. if you're tight on cash, i would hold out until later. eventually you may end up with an x, esp. if you start building for perf. there really isn't much that will quiet the bullets down (inside the cabin). there has been mention of inserting exhaust cones but bb said they won't work on the c6 system.
