is it possible for your exhaust to actually sound nice deep and smooth at high rpm with no cat? it seems whatever muffler i put on sounds like shit at high rpm, like i mean loud raspy, almost ricey sounding, not like a bumble bee but it sounds like im about to explode lol. if anyone knows of a muflfler that goes well with an sr20det with no cat and has a nice deep smooth tone at high rpm, can u please let me know ---

its a hollowed out cat with pipe straight thru it (incase a cop or mto actually gets on there hands and knees and looks), the rest of the exhaust is straight standard size, no resonators or anything ---
