I welded a pipe in just like this to attempt to cancel out some drone (the theory was that the sides would help balance each other out by being out of phase) and it made very little difference in the drone unfortunately. It did change the sound a little bit I believe which I like more, but the drone is still quite obnoxious. I'm currently debating trying the 2nd cat bypass pipes or building a quarter wave resonator to lesson the drone.

Get the cat bypass pipes and use the easy seal clamps. No drone for me.

No big deal, I actually welded it in a week or two back and then I just saw this thread - what a coincidence. I already had a piece of stainless that would work, so net cost: whatever power the welder drew while welding and a couple hours of my time. I'll most likely try the cat bypass pipes and let everyone know how that goes, but it's probably going to be a little while before I get that done - I'm a bit stickler about my budgets and have some more pressing items I need to buy.
