Default Corsa Cat back owners...

Does anybody think there Corsa CB is raspy at the mid to higher rpms? I have FLP LT's and a hi flow catted Y. It seems to me thats it pretty raspy when I get on it. I almost don't like it. Is it the muffler or the cats or what that makes it raspy?

It's your HEADERS, if you don't like that sound, put your stock manifolds back on.

doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of spending $700+ for a corsa?

I love my Corsa. I have cats on it now but even when I didn't have cats it was fine. If anything, the rasp was at low rpms. At high RPMs it just screams and it's music to my ears.

Yep sure did but after to many complaints from the neighbors I had to quiet it down a bit and so I had a magnaflow muffler I could use so i just switched to see how it would work to my surprise worked good and no more gripeing neighbors or rasp haha
