I probably just opened mouth and inserted foot...oh well.
right....

You want to hear rasp???? Take your muffler off and rev it up. Youll know when you hear it.

**NOTE - The following post is not accepted fact, just a personal opinion**
I gotta say, while the second set of videos does sound clean, they also sound kinda neutered... I like my rasp, and with the cats it's pretty easy to control. I can't imagine the high-flows lose much power, either. Oh well, JMHO

I have gutted cats on with a SLP CME exhaust and
it doesn't make those kind of raspy sounds. I would
expect the dual-dual to be very similar (quiet).

Actually there was very little opinion in my selection of clips. Rasp is a factual thing, so either it's there or not, no room for opinion. By clean, I meant without rasp, maybe thats where it sounded opinionated

Run open headers, and you will hear rasp. Did that for a week with the new LTs.

This has to be the best example of the definition of rasp. Now that I know, I will stay far away from setups that have rasp. I hate old trucks with cherry bombs. I can't stand that sound. The opposite of rasp is REFINED. Someone needs to post rasp and refined video clips side by side too make the differences clear. Later.
