Exhaust Resonation
Exhaust Resonation Ok, originally I had the stock catback/manifolds/y-pipe, a Flowmaster muffler and a Flowtech cutout. Now, I'm running SLP LT's, an SLP ORY, and a cutout. With or without the cutout there is resonation. There is, however, a bolt missing from the cutout blockoff. I am wanting a loud setup but do not want the interior resonation (raspy sounding, like metal clanging).
Do you all have this rasp with loud exhausts or is there a chance there is something loose where the y hooks up to the headers or where the y hooks up to the catback?? I was thinking about ditching the catback all together and running a Borla muffler at the end of the Y or just throwing a bullet muffler on at the end of the Y. I know this will be loud, but will there be rasp?
Advice please!

I'm running the exact same exhaust setup as you. SLP LT's, SLP ORY, Flowtech cutout, only I have the E-Cutout. And there is a little rasp, but nothing like you've described. Either that or I'm going deaf.
Try putting a dynomax or magnaflow bullet, or a borla xr1 at the end of the y-pipe. Those are in order from loudest to quietest and price too 
I love how mine sounds with the 4" bullet...it sounds really deep at idle and screams up top...but still pretty dang loud. The shop's still tuning on the car (had a couple cars in front of me). I'm hopin to have a vid posted next week of the car idling in and outside of the car as well as on the dyno

ditch the shitty stock setup w/the flowmaster muffler (possibly the worst performing combo out there, too). get yourself an SLP dual/dual (now SLP powerflo) setup. it will make plenty of noise with LT's and an ORY. it's the quietest setup you can get overall, but you have a cutout for being loud. do NOT expect this setup to be ungodly loud. this is what you will get:
-no noise at crusing. you'll have to open your windows to hear anything
-absolutely NO rasp, even with an ORY
-plenty loud at WOT
-the closest an f-body will ever get to sounding like a mustang
-a stainless steel system that will look brand new 5 years from now (mine is 5 years old and i could comb my hair in the muffler - still a mirror finish)
-beautiful, shiny tips that were damn near made for a TA and still look good on a camaro
I like the advice ChocoTaco but I will never pay to make my car sound like a Mustang.
I am thinking of getting a custom true dual setup with 2 bullets (one on each pipe). I don't want to pay to have it go over the axles so now I just have to figure out how to hold the CME tips on even though they won't be in use...
