I ran an ebay header for years until the rest of the system rusted beyond repair. I replaced the system with all 2.5 inch stuff and the rasp is unbelievably bad above 1/2 throttle. I have a Magnaflow spun universal 8" x 4" cat and 22" resonator and a flowmaster 50 series 3 chamber SUV muffler. The tone is damn near exactly what I wanted. Deep and mellow. The volume is almost twice as loud as I was anticipating and the rasp is horrible.
I'm thinking that a standard honeycomb cat may be a solution, as it will be larger and should slow the flow down so I'm not overloading the resonator.
Or I could bottleneck the the flow to 2.25 somewhere along the way.
Or I could add another, smaller, resonator to the existing lineup.
Or I could replace the muffler with something different.
I am not concerned with performance. The current setup was a failed attempt at creating a decent sound on a really tight budget.
What do you guys think I should do to fix the rasp? Replacing the entire system is not going to happen, even if the GB on Stromung would be the best solution lol. Just don't have the money for it.
