Stop posting bullshit that you just read and have no experience with, I'm willing to bet you've never even heard a hooker catback with LT's and an ORY, not all ORY setup's are raspy.
Oh and another thing, did you ever stop to think for a second that some people like the sound of a raspy exhaust? I for one kind of do, I think it makes the car sound dirty and mean.

far by it from me to make a suggestion. i find $200 a small price to pay for a superior exhaust note. if you like rasp and gurgling, go ahead. you're definitely the minority. personally, i don't like to see people spend hundreds on a setup, start it up and say "wtf? no one told me it would do this!"
you're so right, i've never heard a car rasp, and just because i've owned a V6 in my life, that's all i know about. i've also never been in a shop either my entire life. ****, i have friends whose family owns multiple shops. good thing i never hang out with my friends.
what an ***. if you're on the rag, go whine somewhere else.

Go to www.ls1sounds.com and see if you can find a combo to listen too that you like. There are some good sounds with a variety of exhaust and header setups.

If you really were stupid, you would have said the opposite of what you posted earlier.

You ever look around and notice that 90% of the people on this site with headers don't run cats and are perfectly happy with their exhaust note? If someone buys a loudmouth, LT's and ORY, they are going to get rasp. If they didn't figure this out before hand, they need to off themselves anyhow.

And basically when you say that, you're telling everybody on here that has LT's and an ORY that our cars sound like ****. If you had a car with LT's and a catted Y, it would be one thing, but you dont.
Try slapping three little letters after your tired raspy ORY comments. IMO
That would help alot.
And judging by this thread, it seems you might be the manority.

so i forsee your next question: why did you post about rasp here? where did it mentin rasp? well, that's easy:
the guy doesn't wanna spend more than $500. i don't like price ceilings. maybe times it sacrifices quality. i recommend doing it right the first time. if you gotta save up a little, it'll be worth it. you shouldn't get the cheapest headers you can get just for the sake of money. you get what you pay for. so i recommended a catted-y. the guy didn't seem to know much about headers so i gave some useful information. there's no such thing as too much information - as long as it's accurrate. no one can tell me cats don't reduce rasp, so it seems accurrate to me.

But the point is you try to make it sound as if the exhaust will sound like **** & have so much rasp you won't be able to stand it, unless they put cats on it. This information is INCORRECT.
Giving advise is cool, just make sure its the truth & not personal opinion. There is a BIG difference.

does magnaflow rasp? yes i've heard it. does hooker rasp? some say yes, some say no. does the dual/dual rasp? never heard it in person with an ORY, couldn't tell you, but i generally hear no.
what i can tell you is, pretty much everything sounds better with cats with maybe the exception of true duals...but then you don't need an ORY do you?
and big mike, please don't put words in my mouth. if i say something that can be taken two ways and one way makes you angry or sound wrong, i meant the other.
I understand your points, and I'm glad you're helping out. It just sounds so rude sometimes (somehow)!
There has been quite a bit of rasp threads. Maby I need to make a rasp sticky like we did for the TD's!
