Default Y pipe to eliminate rasp

02 TA A4 Pacesetter LTs, old design Pacesetter ORY, 224 cam, Yank 3600.

So with the cutout open the rasp is pretty awful. My current plan is a TSP catted Y, an their new 3" catback with cutout. Im pretty sure this will fix the rasp. But I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Pacesetters redesigned ORY. That merge looks way better than the old one.

Link to the one Im talking about.

That merge does look good, but when in doubt, just get a Flowmaster merge of the correct tube sizes, weld it in, and problem solved. Probably the best merge in the biz.

You can get a flow master merge and replace the merge in your current y pipe instead of replacing the entire y pipe and still have the same out come / result.

Whats the current catback you have now?

Yep I added a FM merge to my old Pacesetter ORY. Made a huge difference

Stock catback with a cutout welded in.
Ive done some reading the last couple weeks and the FM merge kept coming up. So that may just be the route I go as far as the Y pipe goes.
