My rasp went away when I went aftermarket for the exhaust. It depends on the exhaust I guess but Hfc's have very little rasp on most aftermarket exhausts. test pipes, on the other hand, always have rasp.

It is not just the HFCs. It has more to do with the cat-back as I have the 12" resonated FI exhaust behind my Berk HFCs and I have zero rasp. Other exhausts like the Invidia, Amuse, Greddy, and other exhausts also have no rasp with HFCs or test pipes either.

It has a lot to do with the cat-back. There are a number of factors but the most important ones that affect sound are whether the exhaust has an x pipe or H pipe, resonators (size, shape and internal design), and the mufflers (size, shape, and internal design). After looking at some videos on youtube, the Magnaflow exhaust has a bit of rasp even with the stock cats and that rasp would only be amplified with HFCs or test pipes. Here is my FI exhaust with HFCs for reference, go to around 1:00 and the 3:00 minute marks for WOT runs:

Put a resonator somewhere in the mid pipe this will help because Magnaflow is known never to use a resonator.
