Oh yeah you've got rasp. You need cats or maybe bullets to get rid of a lot of it.

Rasp is caused by the ypipe. I think it has to do with the 2 exhaust streams colliding.

Anyway, most people think the flowmaster catback isnt a good choice with ory pipes. No prob, just replace the flowmaster muffler with a straight through magnaflow or ultraflo muffler and use the existin pipes from the catback. This should eliminate the rasp along with some gains in hp. The flowmaster mufflers dont flow as well as the straight through design.

jegs or summit. Measure the flowmaster muffler and check out magnaflow.com and dynomax.com to find one that will work.

The rasp is most likely the cats. Some folks say going with true duals will work too. I have rasp with my setup of JetHot LT's, ORY, and Magnaflow muffler. Here's a link -
