    There isn't any rasp in that range whatsoever. I haven't had a chance to drive on a highway so I can't speak on drone, but it seems to be a lot less. The only thing I can complain about is a weird vibration at around 2k RPM. I think it's just a reasonance frequency of my system, but it isn't a big deal.

    I can offer a suggestion on this as well — Myself and a hand few of others using the 11385 and various semi-custom setups installed these to help with the exhaust vibration. Really cuts it down quite nicely:

    You can clamp or weld them onto a couple of locations on the downpipes.

    You talking about that vibration at 2k? You have that as well?

    Yes, I did. I have the Mopar dampeners installed though, which cut it out significantly.

    Hey thanks man. I didn't realize this was a common issue. Just ordered the parts.

    Does this take away the 2k - 3k tin can sound or drone? I have all factory with Becker cat-less pipes, what's my next step?

    Best route to eliminate drone and rasp on catless/res delete

    Totally missed this reply. The resonated x-pipe in place of the baby resonators is what will smooth out the exhaust tone with test pipes (/cat delete), cut the rasp, and eliminate the drone. The exhaust dampeners I spoke of in my last reply are to help cut out vibration you feel in your seat and cabin with the setup we’ve been talking about. It helps cut vibration with other aftermarket/custom exhaust setups as well.

    To directly answer your question - yeah, try the magnaflow 11385 in place of the baby resonators. I run it with the Becker test pipes. I posted links to my video of it a little earlier in the thread.
