Where the merge comes together does make a difference on the rasp, I have ARH's with ORY, with the factory Dual-Dual. rasp was bad. had Nick at ARH make me a new Y-pipe with a 3.5" merge collector about 10" long when I got the pipe I made a divider out of stainless to fit inside the pipe that would separate the the merge into two chambers then tapered it down to the orinigal 3" I-pipe rasp disappeared, so the merge disign is the reason for the rasp sound on our cars

Picture showing the 3.5" merge and taper to 3"


The merge divider the went into the merge collector


Looking into the merge before I welded the divider in, I got a pic of the divider installed some where! can't find it now.

Magnaflow seems to be more hit and miss, maybe as a result of not being a straight through muffler. I would think the Hooker muffler would lower rasp too. Again this is very subjective.

Agree that the LM will sound like *** with LT's and the ORY.

I had a little rasp with my Borla, LT's and ORY that was not severe, but just annoying enough to convince me to go TD's. Then it was gone, not covered up.
