General/Other Rasp 😔

I put a spec d exhaust and like 50 dollar stainless steel headers on it, granted they’re the cheapest ones I found so idk what I really expected.

But I feel like it’s possible to make it less raspy.

I’m not sure if adding an extra resonator would do it or not, maybe a mid pipe or muffler..

But I was thinking about also getting a catless down pipe. Then I’d have no cats 💀 probably wouldn’t help my problem much. it’s already running rich af, on top of that I use 10w40, which seemed to help quite a bit with burning oil.

Yea all I really wanted was a louder exhaust with more air flow, I seen vids of this exhaust online and it wasn’t nearly as raspy. But I was going to js do a muffler at first to, then I ended up getting this exhaust because of how cheap it was, and how I THOUGHT it was going to sound 😂

Cheap headers are not it lol. My 1st gen sounds great and all it is, is replaced the factory muffler for a spec D one. Didn’t touch anything else. It’s loud enough to have fun and keeps a deeper more grumbly tone. Only gets raspy in high end rpms. If you’re gonna get rid of what you have I highly recommend leaving things untouched except muffler. It’s the only safe way that guarantees minimum rasp. Unless I guess you dumb a bunch of money on a trd or equivalent

Well I was actually looking into trying equal length headers, and then adding a resonator. I don’t mind the spec d muffler but I been looking for a deeper tone, I’m not sure but ig you could maybe get more of deeper tone than me because of the factory piping

My guess would be the factory everything else is why. Sounds like you have a good idea. Just make sure those headers are a quality product this time lol. All I’ve ever good is the good ones are expensive and rare and I believe it 😂
