Default Installed my headers with ORY and magnamouth...HELP!!

Installed my headers and ORY with the magnamouth and it has rasp starting about 2200 rpm. Sounds like I have a band of trumpets back there. Ive been reading so much my mind if going crazy about different exhaust.

I thought about going with the x-pipe from Speed Inc and some bullet mufflers dumped at the back. With this kill the rasp or is my only alternative to add cats?

I installed the pacesetter headers and they went in pretty easy. Many thanks to the guys on the board for different write ups and stuff. I dont post alot but I read the board everyday.

You need some high flow cats to take out that rasp or a different exhaust alltogether.

Even with the quieter Hooker and Magnaflow crossflow mufflers you still get rasp, its just not that bad.

You can put a turndown on the muffler you have now and dump it and you will probably not hear rasp anymore. The same muffler but now no rasp? I like to think of it like a subwoofer being played with the trunk open and it sounds like ***, like its distorting and then you close the trunk and its sounds good. Dumped exhaust kinda uses the underneath of the car like the subwoofer uses the trunk of the car when its closed.

One other solution I often recommend to help with the rasp - get a merge collector. The majority of that sound is the exhaust gases slaming into each other at the y-connection (which is narrowed down to 2.75"). Get yourself a Flowmaster merge collector and have an exhaust shop install it. It'll take some custom fabrication to the back of your y-pipe and the front of your catback. But, it should help a lot with the 2,200 RPM racket.



Here's an example of what you'd need:

...and a 3.5" to 3.0" reducer

I'm sure some of the site sponsors have these items in their catalogs.
