Default what does "rasp" sound like?

hey, does anyone have a video that shows exactly what exhaust rasp sounds like, i just installed kinetix rtp with my borla td and im getting a buzzing noice, but it only happens sometimes, at somewhat random rps's sometimes at 2k, and sometimes again at 4, is it the normal rasp that everyone gets, or is something loose under there? thanks

That's exactly what my TP rasp does...I don't have a video of it because you can hardly notice it outside of the car.

im just a little concerned because its not only at 2k sometimes.....when i push the car it "buzzes" all the way to redline, but only sometimes, like 1 out of 3 times



on another note, i used my pioneer navigations's g force gauge to measure a before and after, with a full tank of gas, in second gear i could pull .39 g's consistently, after the test pipe install, still with a full tank of gas i could pull .44 g's! so i guess theres a little improvement, even if it is just .05 g's.

Does rasp sound metallic?

Unfortunately I dont have sound on my laptop and this is my only source of going on internet so I can't hear in the video...

I got a metallic rapid paced noise when cold... is that rasp?

No, this is not rasp. It is an exhaust leak by the book for the Borla H-pipe. Doesn't always do it starting in first, but will on the rev-down, and for most of your drive until 3k rpms. Annoying as ****.

Is it sound that annoys you and others? If so, it's rasp AKA a fart box

My exhaust is ridiculously loud, ridiculously deep, and sounds really pissed off.
