3500 RPM rasp is still there. I can't figure it out. But I've also gone through 2 revisions of mufflers and I haven't driven as many miles as you have. It's not that bad though, and is easily manageable with throttle.

Given the circumstances though, since a new exhaust will be developed anyway, I'm not going to invest any more money when the car will most likely have a completely redesigned system in 1-2 months. Just don't see the point in spending any more money and time over it. Winter finally hit Chicago, so won't even be driving the car much until then. I can wait
