dcl,
whereabouts in VA are you? drop in on the CAP section and intro yourself.
i did an extensive search to find a way to reduce the drone on my setup. i found:
-several people have used a glasspack of some sort - mixed reactions from people.
-edelbrock 5503 or 5501 depending on your setup (center in/center out or offset).
-vibrant resonator 12" or 18".
i have the 18" on order and will see how it does. try using the search function in the upper right in the "General Mods" and "Performance" sections for "resonator", "drone" and realted words.
good luck!
