Hi Brad, will all due respect to the resources and nrg you guys have put into designing what appears to be the ultimate product, there are some other packages that makes it worthwhile to go with. I got myself the NHP Motorsport exhaust system and in all honesty, there is no drone (as advertised). Okay perhaps quieter than the other aftermarket basement-made exhausts, for 2k it gave my car an incredible weight reduction, some minor HP gains, GT style tailpipes, plug & play installation (2hrs) etc.... that beast starts to reveals itself past the 4k rpm and sounds like a beauty in the upper rpms. I personally give it a 9.9 on 10.

Just not as cheap as some others but check it out!

I'm not an engineer (never played one on tv either ) but shouldn't there be a way to wrap something or lengthen something or shorten something or open up or close down something just a little to change the exhaust frequency to lose the drone?

I don't know why someone wouldn't simply avoid the RPM range where the drone exists. I can't think of a time when I knowingly drive below 3,000 rpm.

Obviously you didn't try it in real life scenario.... you have to get your RPM above the 3K and sometimes its not that quick - also driving behind someone, getting to the intersection, or just getting up to speed in the traffic will bring you enough driving below 3K...
Not to mention simple inconvenience, to remember to avoid 2-3 K RPM.

I have the NHP V1 on mine, I like it but it is actually a little quiet for my taste, I am hoping a set of test-pipes will open up the sound some
