Default HELP ME STOP THE RAPPING !!!!!!

Ok, heres the scoop. I have Coated Pacesetters, with a very nice 3" custom made mandrel bent off road y-pipe, into the factory 2 3/4? pipe, then a 18" bullet, then into a Magnaflow.

The thing STILL raps (like a pick-up) even after I put the bullet muffler in. All that did was quiet it down some, but still the same noise, sounds terrible.
Please give me some suggestions to fix this please!!

I am going in on the group purchase on the pacesetters and ORY. Has anyone here done this with a Hooker catback? I had a LM and then gutted my cats, it was crazy loud and raspy, I then swapped to the Hooker and it sounds awesome, no rasp and I've had WOMEN in their 40's tell me how good it sounds I sure hope it sounds as good after the headeres and Y pipe.

I think the hooker gives the best chance at getting rid of rasp. Other than going true duals.
