All I can say is that I think everyone's definition of rasp must be different!! Holy Hell! My car sounds like an old school bus with glass packs when it has the ORY and Magnaflow. Nothing against it, I think it's just in the nature of the "Y" exhaust.

I have a 6.0 with 238/248 cam and it sounds cool as hell idling and at WOT but that in between area under partial throttle just sounds like *** to me.

It's the y-pipe people. Until I had a custom y-pipe made it was pretty raspy. Get a good y-pipe with a nice merge and the rasp will go away. My exhaust sounds awesome now especially with the cam.

ARH. Merge collectors and the best off the shelf y-pipe out there. X2 with what Dallas said, the y-pipe has alot to do with rasp.

I had paceseters, ORY pipe, no CATS and a magnaflow and it had horrible rasp at 2500rpm. Idle sounded good.

Mine is a lil louder than stock, I was really satisfied, but when I get on it that's when it sounds the best and the loudest
