Can you post a sound clip? So, you're on stock mufflers... I take it these shouldn't introduce droning then correct?

I am on the stock muffler, and these cat delete pipes have not introduced any drone. I think the drone can come with aftermarket mufflers that have two independent chambers and don't connect like the stock muffler.

My son took a video, I will see if I can get it posted. It does sound quite nice and is a definite difference over all stock.

I ordered the combo but am on the fence about the muffler. I'm really worried about droning. I might do the secondary pipes first and then proceed from there.

Let me know if you do go with the muffler.

And thanks in advance on the video.

We are not having any luck with the video, but I am going to autocross Sunday, and those videos are uploaded a different way. I run with the top down, and will be at relatively high revs so you should be able to hear it there.

After driving on it a few more times it seems "deeper" that the stock sound, and more "meaty" if that makes sense. It is not a huge overwhelming change but it is definite And in the lower gears there definitely feels like a difference at 4000+, the kick in the pants is stronger. I haven't tried it on the higher gears yet as I rarely get over 4000 in any gears except 1 & 2 on the street.
