I have heard the term rasp and am a little confused as to how it
sounds. Does anyone have a sound clip of rasp?

Yep, thats rasp. I have it I think. I haven't driven my car in over two months. Still need help with new clutch and tranny. A bullet along your I-pipe will silence that by the way.

I have a small amount of rasp at certain rpm's when accelerating normally from a stop.

Depending on your exhaust setup you will usually hear it between 2000-3000 rpms under a load.

So whats the solution? Pacesetters, off road Y pipe, flowmasters catback thats my set up.

TD's are about the only solution if your running headers...

almost any catback with headers and a y-Pipe will cause rasp

this is my car with 3" dynomax bullets and 3" dynomax x pipe with mac mids
no rasp at any RPM and sounds amazing

Even True Duals have some rasp. Not much though.

It's one of the things that separates us from ricers. I guess I'm one of the few people fond of it.

You will know it when you hear it. fwap fwap fwap...... I can't stand it. Mine used to sound like a 1975 big 10 chevy truck with glasspacks.

A decent Y pipe actually helps quite a bit, but the rasp will still be there. Rasp is caused by the exhaust gasses colliding with each other at the Y merge. The pacesetter one is the worst. A flowmaster true Y merge with some custom tubing should take care of most of that. That's gonna be my plan.

ya a custom y with a flowmaster merge is the way to go
