I generally agree.

When I have it, like on a stock exhaust, I don't really care. But when its gone it usually sounds better. In a few rare cases it can sound good.

And sometimes, depending on the quality and intensity of rasp, it really can sound like ****.

Civic fart cannon comes to mind.

When I added the X-pipe muffler to my Borla; all the rasp went away and I even felt an improvment in my low end tq. Also the sound of my exhaust is so much better overall.

If I were to do it again, I'd just get a magnaflow x-pipe rather than fabbing one up.

/\ I bet it's your flex joints... Or maybe a loose 02 sensor, or something touching somewhere...

hahaha, that sucks! I had a Bosch 02 sensor blow out when I was going down the track in a 95 Tsi AWD. that thing was majorly FUXored after that.

This was back in the day when 02's were 150 bucks from factory, and the only aftermarket were Bosch (universal)....they didn't fit too good apparently.
