Tommy,

I have the pipes and clamps recommended by Bruce, but no time install yet.

It is killing me, I cannot wait to get those pipes on! My impression is the exhaust and pipes are designed to work together.

Will give report as soon as they are installed.

BTW, I agree with Hayden, moving clamps around to improve seal improves the drone. I removed my 1.5" extension and used a couple of spacers to add some space between tips and lower bumper.

Gary,

Thanks for the response, I was thinking about getting this exhaust for my car. I have a 98, so i only have the one pair of cats. I like the thought of a little better sounding exhaust note, but i could do without the drone.

Just wrap your headers very thigh along with the curved parts of the exhaust system. No need to wrap it all 100% to the tail. Just so the vibration is managed at some area is sufficient. You'll get rid off of 50% if not all drone

oh and with headers wrapped it makes your motor run cooler. Wraps are about the same price as the famous aftermarket thermostat... forgot the name of it. 160 or something
