but seriously, a high flow cat and a 20' resonator is definetly needed. i was comparing your sound clip vid with mine and the tone is there, you just have to get rid of the rasp. again, i honestly dont see how some of you think that kind of raspiness sounds good, expecially for a car like a TL
that thing has some crazy rasp especially when the throttle is let off. leave that stuff for the civics and whatnot.we both basically have the same setup. comptech catback still w/ midmuffler , precat deletes and jpipe. the only difference is im using my hiflow procat instead of the test pipe and a 20' SS magnaflow resonator. now i have ZERO rasp with a nice throaty-aggressive-burbly sound
IMO, these 2 mods are the key in giving you the sound i believe your trying to achieve

Didn't know Mike was making any.
A high flow cat should be in next week. I've been wanting one ever since the deletes were installed. I'm not sure where you live but that video was taken when the air temperature was cool. In warmer weather, say mid 40s-50s, the rasp isn't as prominent. Also, I don't seem to hear the rasp when I'm actually driving (when theres a load on the engine)... only when I rev with no load. I agree -- when I let off the throttle, I wanna strangle someone because it should so 
. Anyway, I don't want to chop up the CT catback so I won't be getting another resonator welded in. I might explore some other options but I doubt theres a lot out there.

^ No not necessarily. I already spoke to Richie and this has happened before. His solution is smaller defoulers. When I get them on, I will report back in this thread to see if they remedy the CEL.
In the meantime, the CEL doesn't have any negative impacts on our cars.... its just annoying as hell to see it

The smaller defoulers should fix the problem I will make up a few sets next week. I need to order some from autozone. For some odd reason only TLs are having this problem and not all of them. Stillhere153 and type-s09 have the same car and same exhaust setup but only Stillhere153 had a problem which the smaller defouler fixed.

Yeah I'm going to try a high flow cat out soon.. well, once Richie finds the time to make me one <- trying to tone down the drone and rasp.
Waiting on my defoulers too but I feel bad asking Richie since he's really busy with the J pipes....

Defoulers and RV6 high flow cat is in!
Maurice, I saw yours too. Hopefully you'll get them soon. So far, nothing but its only been like 20 miles.
HFC feels good. Low end tq has been rescued a bit more. While revving with no load, its not as raspy when I left off the throttle but its still there a bit. Seems like a good mod if you're running the precat deletes.

Nah I cruise controled at ~80MPH on the way home... didn't take her above 100 yet.
I think my exhaust tone is even deeper now with the HFC. Can't wait to see if it changes the smell
