Anybody using Stainless Bros. resonators to reduce rasp? I have 1" 7/8 long tube catless H pipe and AWE touring axle backs. The rasp is seriously obnoxious!

Have you considered swapping mufflers? Most of the aftermarket axle backs are going to be raspy when combined with long tubes and off road pipes. For this reason I am running OEM 13-14 GT500 mufflers, at cruise the car is quiet but has a very aggressive tone under throttle. I'm running Kooks long tubes, off road x, borla over axle pipes, and OEM gt500 mufflers.

I bet if you added cats it would take a lot of the rasp out.

Only way to minimze the rasp is either put cats back in or go for a chambered muffler like the GT500 axle backs. I have no cats, h pipe, and resonators on stock headers. Even with borla touring it still sounds kinda raspy to me though I think it's fantastic at WOT.

This has not been my experience. I run the long, 23"/18" x 3" Dynomax Bullets where the stock resonators reside and have had no rasp on anything but 2 chamber Flowmasters. Needless to say, they were removed after one drive, back in early 14'.

I don't think my resonators are that long they may be one size down from that length-wise. Could be part of the issue. People also seem to have some variance in what they personally consider to be "rasp" and what isn't. So there's that too.

I do really like the touring at WOT. I can't even hear the supercharger now. It sounds flat wicked to me and is way louder than I expected. Light throttle sounds good too. Just not a big fan of the mid-throttle note.
