In all cases, the rasp was there from day 1 with the OEM setup. In each modification combination, the rasp was reduced or eliminated. Meaning the "ball bearing in a blender" sound was most pronounced with all stock, and was eliminated with both of the mod systems.

Ron, im glad you finally saw this thread. a couple of months ago, i started a thread about "modification regrets". in that thread, you said the cats and headers give the car an 'intoxicating sound'. based on this info, i purchased a set of awe cats.
i have not installed them yet and this thread made me reconsider the cats and i put them up for sale a few days ago. all i wanted to swap were the cats. some have said in this thread that the header is not going to fix the sound either.
since posting up the sale thread, i have had others tell me that the header/cat combo or even just the cats will give the car a nice bump in power and sound.
your post above again gives me hope and i think i will stop being a wimp and install these dang things and call off the sale.
