Sick of the Rasp! (HELP) As you can see in my signature I have LT's with ORY and SLP LM. I do not like the sound it gives off and the rasp. Should I go with a true duals set up (what is the cheapest route?) or should i just put in a bullet muffler?

i had that same setup with macs ory and slp lm...replaced the resonator with a bullet and it helped a little but not a whole lot...
i cured it completly by going to true duals and it's actually not as loud...x pipe with 2.5 pipe run through magnaflow bullets..
98 ss a4 ...heads/cam..stall..gears...etc etc..

you might also try getting a very good maybe even custom fabbed y. The better the y the less the rasp, the other option is the true duals which garantees no rasp. This is the way I chose and the duals are pretty bad *** I must say.

i ordered the x pipe from dr gas...got the mufflers from one of the mail order places..(and it starts with a j, there not in there catalog but you can find them on there website as well as magnaflows website)had a good shop do the pipes..whole cost was around 500 out the door...best thing i ever did for getting the car to sound the way i thought it should in my opinion..

I got some bad RASP in mine as well. From what everyone has told me and from what i have read is to put a bullet muffler in the I pipe (wont loose any power either). Think that is the cheapest route. Thats what im going to do. I had a guy willing to sale me his old one for 40 bucks. But, man i got my DWI and my account went to **** real quick. Soon, im getting one.

I had the same setup as you. I cut the LM resonator off and replaced it with a Dynomax 18" bullet. I also installed a cutout before the muffler. The bullet muffler is alot quieter and it eliminated alot of the rasp. I'm much happier with it.
The 18" bullet was about 30 bux and the cut out was about 28bux from JEGS.

ok, how much does a shop charge to rip out the resonator and put in the replacement bullet muffler?
