New J-pipe and hi-flow cats. (Pics)
What I had was rv6 precat deletes, XLR8 jpipe, test pipe, then stock piping with Magnaflow resonator and Magnaflow mufflers.
My rv6 precats cracked at the upper weld so I decided to go with hi flow precats instead.
Crack in precat delete
Now heres my problem. The Rv6 v3 j pipe is longer and has different bolt pattern flange than the end of the XLR8 jpipe. So I guess teh best way would be buy a flange and have it welded on where the pipes line up?

New and stock
Will post a sound clip next week when I have time to finish it.

Must've sounded like shit with that cracked pcd. And I don't know why the flanges would be any different?
Oh I see now. You had the shorter j pipe with no third cat, so it looks like someone cobb welded pipe right to the end of the j pipe.

I've never seen someone weld a flange to a straight pipe. Interesting lol.

It sounds better than it did with the PCDs to me although It feels like i lost some lost top end power. It got rid of most of the rasp but i still get rasp between 3500-4000 even with a magnaflow resonator which surprised me. Ill post a video In the next couple days when i have time.

Were those V2 (or V1, V3) PCDs?
How many miles on the PCDs before that one cracked?
What kind of engine mounts are you using (OEM, XLR8, Innovative)?
Are you MT or AUTO? Do you have a stock rear torque damper?

Engine mounts are OEM. Stock rear torque damper and MT tranny.

Also, I'm surprised that the new setup is giving you rasp.

if you have a "rattle" at about 3200-4000...that isnt rasp.
thats a rattle.
and can be cured by performing a neat little trick while installing the jpipe.
wedge a piece of card board in between the J's.
or where the two "J" pipes touch.
then bolt it down from the pre-cats.
remove the card board and VOILA!
