Can't say from personal experience but from what I've read, if you were to keep your factory resonators (and no mufflers) then you may still get a bit of rasp even with the resonated X-pipe but only at high RPMs. Also from what I've read the resonated X-pipe tends to reduce drone so even with Hooker downpipes you should be fine as long as you have resonators/mufflers somewhere.
Personally I went with the resonated X-pipe and then went 2.5" pipe back, so got rid of the factory resonators and mufflers, and it sounds pretty good; a bit of drone but not much, and I still have the factory cats. I plan to go with Solo because I'd likely get a terrible raspy sound due to the lack of resonators/mufflers, and also the resonators will help deepen the tone which I prefer.
For those with an axle-back and resonated X-pipe you'd probably be fine with non-resonator downpipes.
