Thumbs up How do you reduce rasp? Extra resonator?

Well I want to keep using a test pipe since it gains some nice power, but I really hate how raspy it gets when coupled with my Spugen dual oval exhaust. The exhaust does have one resonator built in to it. My question is would welding in a second resonator reduce or eliminate the raspy sound? The raspiness is mostly at high rpm's only, but started to come on once in a while at low rpms which really sounds like a crappy civic fart can when it does.
Was wondering if anyone has done anything to reduce or eliminate the rasp sound.

With a free-flowing exhaust (mainly because of the TP), it's going to be loud.

I am not worried about loud. I am trying to get rid of the raspy sound. Not quite it down.

Rasp isn't bad you can't avoid it with a free flowing exhaust.

Makes it sound kinda like a civic or something with all the raspiness. I have an eclipse GST and that has a 3" turbo back exhaust and no rasp. Does turbo get rid of rasp or something? I didn't think that no matter what exhaust it will be raspy with larger diameter.

OK cool. I think I will look into getting another one welded in. Are there any problems doing this at all?

does the exhaust have more room/space to add another resonator. I have 2 on my project F20 corolla and it helps cut down the rasp. I got the short 12 or 14" resonators.

I will have to look. It has a pretty long Magnaflow one already. When I just put the cat back on it is much better, but hate losing that extra power by putting the cat back on.
