I run Pacesetters, ORY, and a Hooker catback. It is quiet at idle and cruise, but sounds great at 6k!
I got hooker caback with the kooks headers and catted y-pipe. I believe if you don't want any rasp you need to go with a catted y-pipe.. I should be getting my car soon and will find out how much louder it is with all the new goodies...
Jet Hots w QTP Cat Y thru Hooker out the CME. Sounds wonderful with the H/C behind it. Very civil yet still roars when needed. I also have the QTEC when I need to intimidate.

My buddy has one with LTs and ORY and I thought it sounded really weak, no offense to those of you that have em. But my car drowned him out really bad at idle and at WOT he got scared. 
Good descrete system I suppose but sure doesnt sound like it has Long Tubes. At WOT its decent.

I know with my SLP LT's,ORY and cutout, the rasp is very minimal. Almost non noticable, in fact, I've got nothing but compliments on the sound of my exhaust.
GO DREXEL!!!

I have all Hooker, from headers to catback with a 3 1/2" cutout. It has zero rasp at any rpm. I've had alot of different setups and this one is by far my favorite. Though I mostly keep the cutout open.
The Hooker also flows extremely well for being one of the cheapest systems on the market. Most people that have dyno'd with them only pick up a couple of ponies with the cutout open, including myself.
