Default Header, TP install

Ok, I had Strup headers and test pipes(non-resonated) installed yesterday and I have the OEM cat-back. Now, I thought it might rasp, but it's pretty bad sounding. Do you think adding a cat-back would help eliminate the rasp or amplify it? Should I just put the stock cats back on? I cant handle a little rasp, but it makes me cringe everytime I hear it!

I was looking into the Greddy Evo, but I dont want to spend $1000 and still have rasp.

resonated test pipes wouldve helped, but as for putting the cats back on, thta should help as well. But if it was me i wouldve just gotten resonated test pipes if you really hate the rasp.

But I really want to keep the test pipes if there is a way to eliminate rasp through other parts of the exhaust. If not, then stock cats go back on.
