Nice videos. It makes the comparison very easy.
I think you've described the difference perfectly.
Straight pipes- Louder. Very rough at low rpm and idle (I think a bit intrusive and this is where people mention tractor sounds). As rpm increase, sound is relatively the same, just faster.
X-pipe- Louder than stock. Somewhere between OE and Straight pipes. Nice burble when letting off the gas. Sound changes as rpm rise making it more pleasing.
Overall I say X-pipe... Of course, I'm biased. Glad to hear you're enjoying the mod.
