Default Draxas or ZPI S-Pipe....?

I'm lookin to get a S-Pipe and 30' resonator that i plan on adding to the DC Sports Header and HKS Hi-flow Exhaust set-up that i already have, to get rid of the rasp once and for all! My question is which one the Draxas or ZPI s-pipe should i go with, your opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

either one. I have the ZPI Racing S-pipe it looks like the draxas is cheaper but its up to you. I don't know many people with the draxas s-pipe.

What setup do you have? I noticed the rasp everyone mentions actually seems to come from s-pipe not so much the header, but when people install the header it makes it more noticable. Some of it is there but not much. I actually had the alphawerks header welded in a few places before reinstalling it again. The runners are really close and arent welded so I had it welded all the way around and up towards the top near two more runners that are close. This might have helped some of it.

The header causes the rasp and an s-pipe does little to nothing to make it better or worse. I had the rasp with my AW header, CC s-pipe and stock exhaust and installed the 30" magnaflow resonator and all of the rasp was eliminated. We made a video of my car with the TRD exhaust on it after the resonator was installed and now the rasp is gone. I am back to the stock exhaust and it sounds like stock other than the intake. You would never guess I had a header by the sound of my car. I didnt notice any difference in performance after adding the resonator.

The resonator happened to be in stock at my local muffler shop, and the total price of the resonator + install was just over $100.
