please help, rasp after LT install I recently had Hooker LT's installed, and i am not satisfied with the sound at all, how can I make it deeper, and get rid of that rasping sound? My entire system consists of Hooker Long Tubes, custom Y-pipe w/ no cats, borla cat-back. please help! would true duals solve the matter? if so what mufflers? anybody got sound clips with LT's?

Re: please help, rasp after LT install My longtube with ORP's sound real good with the hooker catback. That Aerochamber muffler does wonders at getting rid of the rasp. I would imagine that the hooker longtubes can't sound that much different than the SLP's.
Re: please help, rasp after LT install are you running a plate, the borla muffler itself is pretty quiet, if you are running without a plate in it is just running stright exhuast. Most people do as mentioned above, put in a flow 1 chamber or a bullet. I plan on adding a qtp elect cutout to replace the plate system in the near future when i put on some flp's.

Re: please help, rasp after LT install I have tried all three plates and for now I have the solid block off plate in, still have rasp. I've heard that the bullet in the Y will help but will still have some rasp. Any info that you guys can give me on true duals would help too, ie: the sound quality (deepness, loudness etc..) and if they will kill the rasp, if so I would prob do that cause I like the idea of true duals. also how much would duals be?? what kind of diff mufflers are used? thanks everybody

Re: please help, rasp after LT install The bullet is your best option if you are not going to use cats. I don't care what anyone says, you WILL NOT get rid of rasp 100% if you are catless with any setup. Like Mike K. said, the Hooker cat-back is pretty good about rasp but even better with the bullet in the i-pipe. Before I went with true duals, I had Hooker's LTs, ORP, and Cat-back w/ bullet in the i-pipe. But, there still was some minimal rasp.
