    just accept the drone and live with it because yes it doesnt sound better then and small black v8 but it does sound better then quite/stock/lame crap that most of you all recommend. you dont want your car to be too stock

    My first mod was the resonator delete and I thought it sounded "tougher".
    It will not sound like a V-8 if you install an upgrade system. But there are some people that consider V-8's sound obnoxious too
    I ended up with a SLP loudmouth cat-back,nice rumble that disappears when your on the gas.
    That drone thing never bothered me or anyone, so what the hell ever!

    When you get the borlas on throw up some videos. I'd like to hear more videos of borlas.

    My Flowmasters do not drone at all..

    I think they sound okay till about 3k, then the poo starts, however they are not loud enough for you to hear tehhh ugly, since my FWI noise is louder than the exhaust at those RPM's.

    If you still have a converter and resonator, most any muffler isn't going to be that loud.

    Even though I had no rasp on my flowmasters, they still droned. Bad.

    It's all about noise tolerance. Some have it, others want to rip their nose hairs out.

    Yup yup! Still have both cat and res. There is no rasp in mine either, they may have a TINY bit of drone on the highway, but honestly it's not that much more audible over the normal road noise. Personally I like it. Maybe Bonne's take to exhaust mods differently. A friends 02 GP sounded a little different when he replaced the mufflers with 44's just like mine.

    I still liked it, and yes it did drone, but IMO it sounded pretty damn good for a 3.8
