this is why i dont spend major coin on exhaust.. the money isnt what makes it sound good.. i spent 300.. no drone. and sounds great all the time. hwy, city, awesome. i still have my cats tho.. oh yea no stainless here either. guess thats where all the coin goes too. lol.

All you want to know about drone and more. I hacked 18" off my tailpipe and it raised the drone-zone about 300 rpms. But you want to mount your muffler as far back on your exhaust system as possible.

The Borla does sound good. I had one on my truck for a couple of years and just wanted a little quieter sound. It was loud and raspy at wot but no drone. Then I bought a dynomax ultra-flo and it is all together quieter and once again no drone. IMO do an x- pipe and dual 3" dynomax ultra-flo mufflers. You'll be pleased and it has an awesome sound.

hope this helps a little
I just put dual 3in stainless steel mandrel bent tig welded exhaust on my truck and was in a hurry when buying mufflers and just ordered magnaflow bullets. The drone at 2k is so bad Im sick and it really sucks because the exhaust is so sweet its polished 304 stainless. I seen the resonator idea and would love to try it but if it doesnt work I have cut my exhaust for nothing.
I knew they would be loud but holy crap super loud. I am however very happy with the sound at idle. Im a jackass and should have done some research. Very disapointed with my mufflers Im probly gonna change any suggestions welcome thanks I will try and figure out how to post pics tom.

Like I said, never tried it myself but saved the data in case I ever needed it.
