    Default MSDS Headers and Y w/ Trubendz reonated magnaflow catback w/ cat pipe . . .

    Worst Drone EVER! From 2k to 2800 rpm at part throttle, the drone is nearly unbearable. Idle drone is very bad as well. WOT Above 3k is actually quieter than part throttle at 2800 rpm. The plus side is that above 3k rpm it sounds amazing.

    I'm going to have to do something to kill the drone for sure.
    Balance is the Key.

    If it's too loud, you're too old .

    How does it compare to your ride in my car. Same setup as yours sans catalytics.

    I don't recall your car having anywhere NEAR the same level of drone, not by a longshot.

    Total volume isn't the problem really, its the resonance in the drone frequency. induces headaches almost instantly.

    Like we discussed, the culprit is probably at the Y-pipe.

    possibly, but i'm not convinced, at least not convinced enough to buy a bunch of new parts yet. I've got a friend that designs OEM exhaust bits, I'll check w/ him I think.

    Though, I bet a rotary muffler would work perfectly. . .

    Yeah, Maybe you should cut the rear resonators and put in Magnaflow mufflers
