exhaust rasp after header install???
exhaust rasp after header install??? ok since headers installed and cats removed when i get into it bout half throttle it sounds like a warsher rattling in my rear half of the exhaust... not at normal driving but only when into it for a quicker merge into traffic... and it dies as soon as the car shifts,... i would say at about 3200rpms.......
now i know i shook out all the y-pipe and nothing could have gotten into the intermediate pipe... so is this the rasp i have heard about? it sounds like a metal rattle... but i have been all over the car cant find it touching no where.... only other thing i thought of was the extra mount for y-pipe that holds it to the drive floorboard... but this seems solid and it sounds like its in the back of the car..... the car has the SLP dual/dual with Lpp headers and ORY pipe..
and it kinda sounds like old glasspacks that rotted out... but its sounds more metal rattle
thanks guys

Well I wouldn't say rasp sounds like something rattling around in your exhaust but I guess it's possible. I was in marching band for years so I think of rasp as someone overblowing their trumpet or trombone. It's a very metallic, edgy, splatty sound.
Here is a clip of a car with a lot of rasp! Listen in the first 4 seconds

The ceramic brick style cats cut out the rasp a lot more than the newer style higher flowing metallic core cats. I have rasp with my true duals & metallic cats. The rasp is difficult to remove without a big muffler or a bullet with cats. Borla XR1 bullets quiet down the exhaust more than dynomax bullets. I'm not sure where magnaflow fits in with that.
A new set-up out there that seems to be doing a good job at killing rasp is the new SLP powerflo exhaust, which is basically 3 bullets.

I've heard of a piece breaking before in the slp dual/dual catback muffler. You may want to look into it.

You can get a powerstick 20" http://www.classicchambered.com/ put that in the I-pipe and that should help out alot. I have Kook's LT, Catted Y and GMMG CB. An I just got my car back from my tuner and the rasp is gone completely. But since you don't have any cats it still should take out the rasp or a majority of it and then get a Flowmaster merge and that should kill it period.

No cats, I put 2 12" resonators (glass packs) from classic chamber right before the tips. They completely removed my rasp. I have a GMMG and LT with ORY. I also have a dynomax bullet after the Y before the GMMG. It sounds just like it did before the headers but with ZERO Drone.

Yea, I suppose it is heavier, but if I'm worried about weight I better look down. My fat *** could stand to lose 40 lbs. I have pictures at home I will post, and I will post another you tube. I have it without the resonators posted now. You can here the rasp when I rev it but the rasp is much louder under load. Like I said it is completely gone now.

Just curious - why are you against cats?
I use a magna flow bullet in the eye about 8 inches from the merge from the y and got rid of my rasp plus the turbo help also. But with the turbo off it has a very low rumble at idle.
Video and photo's GMMG+ LT, ORY and Bullet, 2) 12" Resonators This is my set up, When I just had the bullet after the Y it had a rasp.
