I believe this is ONLY a problem in the SVT (excessive drone), because of the cat-back and the diameter being 2.25". I just had mine removed in my SE and it sounds great! (diameter 2" stock exhaust) NO DRONE AT ALL. Just a noticable deeper tone at idle, low rpms. Once i hit 60+ I dont even notice it! But I feel more power at speeds 60+.
The explanation above of why it's more excessive then in my car is simply a guess on my part as I've never heard an SVT with the res removed. But ALL the complains about it seem to come from SVT owners. And i'm just putting 2 and 2 together that the exhaust configuration (diameter, cat-back design etc) is the reson why there is "more" drone.
