Default Mac Collector mod question?

Friggin' RASP!!!

I just installed a 18 inch bullet muffler in place of the resonator on my Loudmouth, but the rasp is still VERY bad... (Maybe I'm getting old!)

Anyways, what exactly do I need to order to get rid of the mac ball flanges? Do the O2 sensors stay in the same place?

Does anyone hae any pics of the mod?

Thanks!

I didn't modify those, I did the Flowmaster collector mod. It's a y-collector that is welded in place of the restrictive MAC one which as tobe cut out. I had a local muffler shop do it.

I had my ball joints hacked off of mine and then connected to a fabricated y-pipe, it did not stop the rasp. But junking that crap and running true duals did stop the rasp, or maybe im just too deaf to hear it anymore <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" /> .

So the reason for the RASP is the Y collector?

I was under the impressions that the ball flanges on the headers were the main cause...

Now I am really confused!
