Does a bassini x-pipe sound better than pipes or upr

There's a lot to the exhaust note of a car, more so than just an x- or h-pipe and what brand.

Things like cam profile, header type, tailpipe length, etc. all play a roll in what the final exhaust note sounds like. I've heard a Pypes system on a small-block with long-tube headers and it sounded good. Never heard the UPR system. I have Bassani long tubes and X-pipe on my Mustang and like its mellow tone that doesn't drone, but I've had people tell me it's too quiet for them.

It's not easy to say one sounds better than the other...

Sorry...
