hey guys i need a lil help/advise
i have a 98 contour 2.5 dtec and when i bought the car the exhaust was rusted out at the y pipe off the motor. i took it to a local shop the week i got it and had them redo the exhaust. it didnt sound too bad so i left it. after driving it for a couple months i realized that i had a raspy ricer sounding exhaust at midrange rpms.
a few weeks ago i decided to purchase a basanni catback exhaust from a fellow CEG member. Pblack003, great guy was totally understanding and had immediate responses to anything that i asked him. i received the exhaust and finally today i decided to put it on since i had some free time.
when i got under the car i found out that there was no resonator after the flexpipe, therefore there was no place to "bolt" the exhaust to my car. i cut the flange off and installed the kit and it sounds great.
unfortunately the raspy sound is still there at the same rpm range.
Does anyone have any reason as to y i have this raspy sound... what causes it or how it can be fixed. i have heard a few CSVTs and they all sounds really good and have great power and tone in the midrange... so y does mine sound like this.
again open to any and all suggestions to get rid of this sound and get a deeper toned exhaust. ive heard the basanni system is great and have heard the same system on someone elses car, which is what convinved me to get it for my own.
thanks alot
