Will exhaust cutout make rasp? My exhaust setup is pacestter long tubes, hooker ory with a pair of magnaflow cats welded in and the slp dual/dual exhaust. When I bought the car it didnt have the cats and made alot of rasp but was just loud enough. I had to put the cats in to pass visual inspection. They cut out all the rasp (and smell) and the exhaust actually sounds alot nicer now. Problem is its pretty quiet, pretty much stock quiet expecially at lower rpms but sounds good at WOT.
So now I'm considering putting a manual cutout in the I pipe before it goes up over the axle and leaving it open but I dont want the rasp back. I would probably rather have it the way it is then getting all raspy again. Anyone have experience with a similar setup???
Thanks!

If you bypass the mufflers then yes it will be raspy as hell.
If you thought that catless vs. catted was a big difference in rasp, then you have no idea what muffled vs. not muffled will do.

It would be similar to what borla does.
You would try it.. block off plates are cheap. You could get two... drill a small hole then one a bit bigger bit bigger etc until you get the sounds you want. If you don't like the sound on hole size #4 then drill hole size #3 in your second cutout.
At idle cutouts sound good it part throttle that is horrible so make sure you drive the car around the block taking it up to around 3k rpms on each drill.

+1 my wife said when the cutout open sounds like a piece of **** truck. Loud as hell and annoying inside the car when its vibrating everything. It is kinda fun to downshift going through town and disturb the peace.
