Greetings,

I just installed Stainless Works long tubes with no cats and an X pipe, and im running the stock mufflers. The rasp is real. I need to tone down the rasp to meet sound levels at our local track. I was thinking of having resonators welded in after the x pipe and would like some feedback from you folks on what may work the best.

Now just so we get this out of the way, I know cats will basically resolve my problem. I dont want them and im looking for other solutions.

Oh here is a crappy video of me doing a pull the night I finished the install and loaded the tune. Just because.

Stock mufflers are incredibly tinny and raspy, and going no cats just makes them worse.

I would run a resonated X-pipe in place of your current X-pipe, or add bullet resonators.

Going from X pipe to H pipe help too, that's what I did in my setup

Thanks for the feedback. I wonder if someone wants to trade my X for their H.

I'd personally not go through the trouble and you'd definitely reduce rasp significantly more by adding resonators.

If you need to meet track specs def inline resonators or a resonated x. Switching to an h pipe wont help with volume levels.

You would have zero rasp if you simply swapped the X-Pipe to a H-Pipe.

I just installed Kooks on mine and came across the same issue, I reinstalled my factory catback and love the sound and sound level.

Put some cats back on there. Or a set of resonators, or both and you will kill a vast majority of the rasp.

We would recommend it! The resonated midpipe will bring the volume down a bit and lessen the rasp so you kill 2 birds with one stone.
Does this work with the comp catback?

i have kooks LTs with the green cats.
With the Borla touring catback (using the resonator muffled mid section) i have no rasp.
With a H-pipe i have rasp.


just saying.
After the Whipple, the volume on the Borla Touring is great. Before, pretty tame.
