too raspy

i have edelbrock headers and a dynomax cat-back exhaust, no cat, no muffler... its good at idle, but midrange, and upper, its way too raspy.. i cant stand it.
whats the best way to retain the deep tone, and cancel out the rasp.. not completely, but enough to make it sound good.


i like the spintech mufflers, would welding one of those up make it how i want it to sound, or because they make exhaust raspy, i will have the same problem?

Almost any muffler will clean up the sound.

any second opinions please?

what about a resonator? dont they need to be farther up the exhaust though and not at the end?

If I were you, id stick with the idea of getting a muffler.

Even with a muffler you will most likely still here poping and some rasp. It will just be a slightly quieter. A high flow cat will get rid of both those things without sacrificing any power.
