Default Headers ORY-pipe + what catback for no rasp/drone?

I've got a Hooker LT's, ORY-pipe, and a LM with an XR1 muffler welded in the I-pipe and 2 sweet thunder chambered mufflers welded in to resemble a GMMG out back. I still have just a little rasp and I was wondering if any of the cheap catbacks out there like the magnaflow or hooker could get rid of all the rasp on my setup? I still need to weld my flowmaster y-collector in place of the crappy hooker y, but I just don't think that will cut out all the rasp.
So are there any catbacks that get rid of all the rasp with headers and ory-pipe?

The only real sure way to get rid of rasp is CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. A really good catback to compliment an ORY is HOOKER.

I have the SLP dual/dual on my car, definately no drone at all - very little rasp... nothing obnoxious like a LM or dynomouth. I highly reccomend the SLP system.

I have an ORY on stock manifolds going to a Hooker cat-back, I hear nothing bad coming from it, just sweet music!

Put me first in line for the Borla XR-1 if you decide to sell it. PM me if interested. I've heard very good things about the Hooker Cat-back with LTs and ORY.

I have to say Borla exhaust. I had hooker catback but it did not sound good to me when I put my heads and cam on. It was way to quiet and muffled. Have had Borla on both of my fbodys. The only way I will get rid of it is when I go true duals. Hope this helps

I have Magnaflow with LTs and an ORY. Most of the time it's just very deep and rumbles a lot, but it does have some rasp when you rev it really hard as the revs are dropping back down.

'01 SS, Stock manifolds, Bassani ORY, Magnaflow cat-back.
Rasp like a 50 cal. @ 1900-2400 RPM at 50%+ throttle.
Sounds great/mean the rest of the time.
(Have NIB GMMG & Borla XR-1 to play with when the stereo is finished.)

It sounds like the Hooker catback can kill the rasp completely on a headers/off road y-pipe setup?
Let me ask one more time to be sure since that's my goal.
So some of you with the hooker have headers and No cat's and you have no raspy machinegun sound between 1700-2300rpm at 50-90% throttle?

yes, i have the edelbrocks with a ORY and hooker catback, no rasp except from a hard downshift when it goes from 3800-3000 after a hard run. sounds GREAT
