   What sound you after? Raspy or deep?
   
   For a deep noise you wanna go ashley system, for a raspy note you wanna go with a supersprint system.
   
   Imo raspy is better. Im fed of my ashley, its too deep and sounds like a wet fart!

   Is this possible even with a branded system? Such as my ashley?

   Has to be a full supersprint system mate!
   Get the "race only" centre section and the back box! Very loud, very popply lol and very raspy! With good performance gains!

    I don't think you'll be able to get the raspy sound from a duel pipe setup.. from what I've seen its the race systems that get this and they are all single pipe

    if u really want duel get two ashley back boxed or any sports pipe u want and get a pro to make them into a duel pipe....
    
    u can have any exhaust sound changed by a professional, as long as they are willing to do it, its much easier with custom manifold as they are more willing to cut and change it, but baffles are easy as a basic point but any more than that it varies, we had an ac cobra and we could add and remove baffles ourselves ended out running her straight thru was soooooo nice 427 v8 hehe
    
    but have a talk to custom exhaust companies its not too hard justm eans they gotta chop ur back box to fit them... usually at least...

    Getting the right (personal) note of an exhaust system can be a hard thing, what one person likes loud and deep another person would rather have raspy and less more tingy.
    
    The only way to really open up the exhaust note is to go straight through in the centre section and then go for a/or more back boxes that have a very open straight through design. Universal Jap style can/s.
    
    Custom straight through, open bored exhausts aren't to every ones tastes and wont gain you anything in terms of performance but might give you the exhaust note your after

    record the sound of a supersprint exhaust..... burn it to cd, get huge speakers play the cd as you drive round with your current exhaust and an empty baked bean can the other side giving the twin look.....

    not really raspy, but defo deep.
    
    if you want raspy you should hear my new supersprint race system.
    
    anyway, the above set-up is a raceland 4-2-1, cybox centre section and de-cat, mid box made by infinity exhausts and an Apexi N1 back box.
