Will resonators cause less rasp?
I have a custom true dual exhaust but at the top rpm's, it sounds raspy. I hate it... Will resonators cause less rasp? I have stock cats as well.
Do i need bigger piping?

thx.
the piping is like this:
Stock cat - pipe - HKS hi-power ti.
Stock cat - pipe - HKS hi-power ti.
they are completely separated with no Y or X pipe.
I was wondering if it was just my set up. Ill try resonators once the exhaust breaks in.

That's the simplified version, check out something like howstuffworks.com, they probably have animated pics
But, they do work. Btw "mufflers" are usually just another form of resonators or resonator chambers, people just refer to the inline component before the pipe reaches the muffler and after cat as a "resonator". The work pretty well, and save many an I-4 motor from sounding like a chainsaw.

They normally do not constrain airflow sigificantly, however, at least not ones made with performance in mind.
