Default nasty exhaust sound

Alright, here we go. My buddy has pacesetter long tube headers, open cut-out, and what appears to be a flowmaster muffler, probably 80 series, and the rectangular tips. Basically, almost the same setup as mine. However, when he steps on it, there is like a hard rattling, almost like a machine gun sound, that makes it nasty and extremely intimidating. This only occurs with the cut out open. I wish mine did this. I will try to get a sound clip of this. This sounds badass, and I NEED to duplicate. I'm thinking something may be broken or loose, or could it actually be the freakin' tips? I have the 3" round tips. He has a '00 Ws6. My mods in sig.

What you described is my definition of rasp...have you ever heard your car from outside? I'd be willing to bet that yours sounds VERY similar.

No it is nothing like rasp. It is a physical sound, and our cars at WOT sound VERY different, though at idle with the cut-outs closed, they are very much the same. I know what rasp is, and this ain't it.

open cut-out
If he has an open cut out it can't be the tips making that noise.

Size of pips leading to the cutouts can a make a difference as well as are both of ur cutouts in the same place.

Mine makes that sound through my cutout, I assume my cam and high compression heads have a lot to do with it. I HATE that sound.

Mine makes the exact same noise with the cutout open. If if punch it around 2500 rpms it sounds like a machine gun till i get the rpms higher. I HATE that noise so i closed mine for everyday driving.

Yeah cars with open cut outs make that noise. I will try and find the thread but I read about it on here and it has something to do with the diffrence between the exhaust temps and the ambient temprature.
