Bought the same exhaust. Drone was awful first week. Then as the computer adjusted it became awesome. I get compliments all the time. Love it.

I also bought an aftermarket "Top Speed" exhaust and had the drone, but then I did the 2nd Cat delete pipes as well and now I have the most incredible sounding exhaust ever and no more drone.

And to add to the pleasure the responsiveness of the throttle had increased 10 fold.

It literally leaps forward now through gear changes and off the line as the power comes on instantly. It was almost too immediate and I had to adjust my clutching to match the instant application of power...awesome!!!

Its the best $300 + $200 I ever spent for a mod so far so if your results are mixed then try the TopSpeed mufler with 2nd Cat deletes.
