Damnit! Thats what the problem is.
I do have something serious for this post. Do you guys really get rasp when you've gone resonator-less on an otherwise stock SVT exhaust? (manifolds w/ precats, stock ypipe, main cat, dual svt mufflers) Mine, resonator-less, just got slightly louder than with the resonator, and has a touch of rasp when its very cold, but as soon as its warm enough to get on it, its a very smooth exhaust note, windows up/down, doesn't matter. Now my last car with headers and a dump before the mufflers, that was the definition of raspy! Easily would set off car alarms with a gentle rev. (There really was no such thing as a gentle rev, but whatever.)
My thoughts are maybe my 136k precats are a little clogged up, main cat too, and this is cause; both hindered exhaust flow, and taming whatever rasp would be there normally. Thoughts?
