Finally!!! The ugly RASP monster has been slain... I can't believe people drive like that all the time!!! No cats is just terrible! The car sounded like ass all the time... (that's a technically term) I switched from my old catless Y-pipe (SHO) to the MSDS Y-pipe with a 3" high-flow cat. (Finally had the time off to weld it together!) The exhaust sings beautiful music once again. Even better than I remember it too! Nice deep throaty roar with a lite rumbling idle. I found an added bonus too... I picked up atleast 2.5% on my airflow readings (which is ~7% overall gain) & this was only in 2nd gear! 4th should produce better results! (longer through the rpm range) Also I had just reset the computer so I will see if that get's any better over the next few days.

Cool!!! We just got rid of the rasp on a car. It had, gutted pre-cats, custom Y-pipe, no resonator, and a magnafow.
Now, we have a magnaflow resonator, two magnaflow mufflers, no cats, and a TURBO!!! :p
Man, that thing sounds awesome.

Aha... the one "turbo" muffler that actually makes more power than straight pipe is a turbo itself! BTW... I killed the rasp monster as well on my no-cat-havin' exhaust. The Borla went out and the YoDude 2.5-inch mandrel-bent stainless cat-back went on. All it took was a 20-inch case Dynomax Ultra Flo in the res position to kill the rasp. Now it sounds like this: MSDS headers, MSDS y-pipe, no main cat, 20-inch ultraflo, 2.5-inch mandrel-bent exhaust (sorry, Terry, could not get it in 2.75-inch pipe  )

The resonator is not going to kill all the rasp. Well not for me definitely! I tried that with no luck at all.
Long resonator and 2 dynomax race magnums. That's the deadly rasp I have been suffering through for about the last month...
You should have heard it with just an ultraflow SS bullet & single ultraflow SS f-body muffler. god aweful!!! That lasted all of one day after the headers went on. :p
I can't be pushing that much more air then everyone else can I???
Anyway... I love the new (Fixed) sound! I'll have to put a sound file up now that it sounds great again!!!

I finally was able to get a 98 CSvt after 5 months of searching for one. I have a question though.. Does anyone have engine codes go off when they install the msds headers? and does anyone make cams for this car?

Another way to kill the rasp (done by HisSvt2) is to put a high flow resonator and run straight pipes back. No mufflers. There is no rasp whatsoever. It has a nice growl with it not being too loud.
