Default One more exhaust comparison

Ok i am going to have stock manis, stock y, with a catback. I just heard the TSP Rumbler and it sounded pretty nice, but i heard a lot of rasp, but wasnt sure if it was because of the LTs and the ORY or what. Does it have a lot of rasp with stock manis and y or just when LTs and introduced to the equation.
Also does the Magnaflow have a lot of rasp with stock manis, and stock y?

IMHO, SLP's LM1 with stock cats and manifolds is one of the two best sounding catbacks, period, with GMMG being the other.

I had a Magnaflow before with stock manifolds and cats... Too quiet. Not a fan.

There's no rasp with either one with the stock stuff in front of it.

Sorry OP, just reread your initial post.

Of the two you have listed, I would go with the TSP Rumbler. Magnaflow is simply too quiet and pretty much not noticeable on a stock car.

LM on stock manifolds sounds awesome. If you hate rasp you need to have high flow cats after you add long tubes. Its really not that much louder but once you take the cats off its just brutal.
