Rasp with Mac w/ ORP, Magna flo? I know this question is asked alot and I read the posts that came up in my searches but couldn't find much on the magna flo. Anyway, I getting shipped to me now some Macs w/ ORP and I'm thinking about not putting in the bullet mufflers. I curretnly have the magna flo exhaust and I currently think my car is actually pretty quiet. Will I totally regret not putting in bullets? I guess I just don't know what this rasp sounds like that everybody talks about. If its just a really loud sound, I guess I'd be for that. I like a mean sounding car. Or if anybody has a sound clip that would be great. I'd apprieciate your advice guys, my car and other mods are in the sig. Thx.

Re: Rasp with Mac w/ ORP, Magna flo? Is the raspy sound like a loud popping sound? I also heard that automatics arent' as bad since we have high stalls converters that get us past the raspy part fast.

Re: Rasp with Mac w/ ORP, Magna flo? OK...say this word....bwaow <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> ...that is what the rasp sounds like and it only occurs between 2000-2500 rpms in every gear...and it is louder when you are on the gas pedal, but goes away quicker.

My 3500 stall ‘verter with 3.23 gears puts me right at that rasp (2300) when coming off a light. Luckily I have a catback now (2OTL) that doesn’t rasp at all <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Rasp with Mac w/ ORP, Magna flo? Oh, and about that rasping sound. Imagine the sound that a giant sized kazoo on crack would make. That is your “rasp”... <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />
