Question about exhaust rasp. So I have Borla with no cats. You can imaging how much it rasps. I have the plate taken out so it's wide open. Is the rasp comming from not having cats, or from the muffler? If I take the muffler off, and replace it with pipe, will it still rasp? ShouldI not do that because of the Borla design?
any info would help!
thanks!

I had the same problem so I had a Borla XR-1 bullet type muffler welded on to the I pipe. the part # is 40085. I don't have a soundclip but it sure did quiet things down and my car has no more rasp. The floorboard had to be hammered in a bit in the tunnel areal on the passenger side rear seat. here's a link of the XR-1 on a Loudmouth setup; at the top you'll also be able to download a soundclip.http://www.javagator.com/z28/images/borlaslp/

How much did it quiet down the car? I like the loud..jus tnot the RASP.
I replaced my DynoMax bullet with a Borla XR-1 recently and was pleasantly suprised. Still pretty loud, but the rasp is GONE! However, I am getting some metallic rattling, so I may have to adjust the pipe a little. Otherwise, I am very pleased with this set up.
I have a jet hot ORY and the borla mouth exhaust (I used the oval muffler) and I still get rasp. The rasp didn't start till I !cats. The problem is with the ORY. I just live with it for now.
