Here are a few thoughts:
Replace the straight through mufflers with baffled turbo mufflers (Dynomax, Hooker, Flowmaster, etc.).
Replace the test pipe with a high flow cat.
Replace the 18" resonator with a 22".
If you placed your resonator where the test pipe was (cat location), add a second resonator behind it, where the resonator normally would go.

Any of these will help, the most noticeable differences would be in adding the cat, and/or replacing the straight through mufflers. It's up to you what you want to do.

High flow cat instead of a test pipe and longer resonator should help a bit. Keep the straight through mufflers, no point in adding a header and full exhaust if you're just going to block it up at the end with baffled mufflers.

All correct..

Get a cat back in there and you'll be fine.

My bad,

I meant, get a high flow cat in there and you'll be ok.

Those cat converters absorb a lot of the sound.

If you want a non raspy exhaust your gona need a cat and bigger resonator. Im catless using a stans 4-2-1 header, 30" glasspack, and dynomax st and mines not too bad; but of course I have some rasp due to being n/a and having no cat. Mines a bit worse than it should be though, I gotta retighten all my downpipe bolts and use some lock washers.

Cool, been wonderigin if I made the right choice, most people have larger resonators (22") around here and still some raspiness so I was worried I'd have a lot more.

well i plan on supercharging it do you think it will get rid of the raspiness by going fi or still put high flow on there?

so basically spend doublw what youve already spent.
get a cat....theres no reason for you not to have one. your car is not a racecar. that will help the rasp somewhat.
i have the same setup except the Rk header and i dont think it sounds all that great.
