RKP sport X pipe vs Test pipes

Has anyone went from test pipes to RKP sport full x pipe? I ask because I run a MPE + test pipe but but want more volume with smell in check. On paper it's the same small cats with 2 resonators. I just want to make sure there's noticeable difference (better sound and volume) if I was to spend money on a x pipe.

I have gone (all with Dinan cans):

Stock
Test pipes
Stock
RKP Sport
AA with cats
Stock
Test pipes

I am getting old.

Found the RKP rasped and rattled when cold and was louder than I wanted. Also, the RKP fitment was shit as the x-pipe was longer than stock and the muffler attachment was hard to make secure. Once warm, it sounded exotic.

The AA x-pipe was quieter but also rasped when cold and the cats hung too low. Plus they were a BITCH to get to not rattle against the heat shields. Sounded good though.

Stock is too quiet.

So, back to trusty test pipes.

Cheers,

Any sound clips of your Dinan with Test Pipes? I also tend to like a more tame exhaust, this seems like it would fit the bill very nicely. Megan with TPs sounds great but can be a little loud for DD duty
