3G Acura TL straight piping?
I have zero rasp... Just loudness... & as opposed to the big piping do you think Ivoire be loosing power I can't really tell if I lost or gained power? its quiet at WOT though... If you don't think there will be any kind of power gain by replacing piping after y then I'll leave it I can deal with it now that I added that piece just want full potential for power?...

you dont have rasp coz the full piping is acting as a resonator
j/k
you should have gone with a 3" piping with a 2.5" split....or a 2.5" piping with a 2.25" split (which is OEM SPECS)....
if you want power, go back there, get a 3" piping with a 18" or a 24" magnaflow resonator (you like it quieter so get a 24" resonator) with a 2.5" splits and get 2 dynomax mufflers 2.5" in and call it a day....you will gain power, it will sound nice, and wont drone....

I already have an 18in magnaflow res that's why I don't have rasp lol... So your saying all I should do is swap my borla mufflers with dynomax ones?... Do you know what type or maybe a part #...

Go to summit racing and keep adding filters to your requirement (inlet size and inlet # and outlet size and outlet #)....this will bring you down to this

check what size you can fit under the car and buy it
dynomax mufflers in my experience clears rasp better than magnaflow....but they do tend to drone a little bit
vibrant resonators cleans the sound up and reduces drone....

Pm me your email I'll send you some pics looks really nice even put my splashguards on my rear lip... I always spend like an hour trying to post pics in a thread and end up giving up...
OK so I'm straight piping my acura tl 05. I already deleted the rear mufflers, but there was no real sound difference so I'm going to do the mid mufflers, any suggestions btw? ok so i need a diagram so i know what pipes to go by (how many, and inches etc.) so anyone have a picture of my cars undercarriage so i can work this out. thanks 
thats my sound, if u wanna know how i got it cost me 20$
I damaged the stock J-pipe on a manhole cover, which led to a nasty hollow exhaust sound (like air getting in somewhere) and had to have it replaced. Occasionally, the heads up display lets me know that i need to "Tighten fuel cap". The impact also led to my oil pan needing a replacement too.
To no avail, those quick fixes didn't solve the exhaust noise problem. After taking it to a muffler shop, they let me know that i need to replace my Cat Converter because its now clogged.
I am wondering if it makes more sense to just remove the 2nd Cat altogether and just put pipe between the block and flex pipe. If i delete that 2nd Cat, is it absolutely necessary to delete the 1st Cat as well?
Not really going for a loud or ratchy Roar, just anything to get away from this hissing sputter. a nice hum or purr would be nice.
PLEASE HELP!

Tommy, if you plan on going with you plan:
"I am wondering if it makes more sense to just remove the 2nd Cat altogether and just put pipe between the block and flex pipe. If I delete that 2nd Cat, is it absolutely necessary to delete the 1st Cat as well?"
I would suggest in PCDs.

do it once and do it right !!!
there are a ton of folks running a custom catback like yours....do not add any more resonators/mid mufflers....after the split, get a 2.25" piping to the mufflers and tips, that will help with the sound....
just remember you have the PCD's and hence loud and a little rasp is something you will have to live with but even though, it should sound good.....
