I love the drone. Sometimes i drive right at 2000RPM justy to hear it...and even then it's not loud enough :D

The new Delta-flow flowmasters are a lot quieter than the old style. I notice with my windows up and the radio at normal volume i can barely hear my exhaust. I found myself, during the winter, lowering the radio and cracking a window just to hear my car.

Meanwhile my friends in the car behind me are complaining about how loud my car is


yeah i am not a big fan of the delta flows. i liked the old 2 chambers a lot. i am going too put a set of 1 chamber flows on my car soon. right now i have the 3 chamber flows the original owner installed.

Flowmaster replacements

Hey there, did a bunch of research before I replaced the stock mufflers on my 02 GT. Wound up with Magnaflows and couldn't be happier. Got the stainless ones for about $200. Quiet at idle, loud when you get on it, and very little (if any) of the dreaded drone.

Goodl luck!

I have had MAC cat back and a Magnaflow catback. I had a bad rattle in the rear that was coming from the loud MAC, so I switched to Magnaflow and that fixed my problem.

I have a catted X pipe and Magnaflow cat back as of the moment. This afternoon I'm going to Flowmaster 40s in my Magnaflow piping. Should sound nice! Definitely will be more drone, but I got the rattle fixed in the back, so no worries now. :)

Crack your window open just a little bit. The passenger compartment will resonate less.

That remedy also fixes that little buzzing I get in the back on occasion. Actually it's not a little buzzing, it's a very loud buzzing. :( Makes me angry.

Now, I have a knocking sound coming from the back right of the car. :mad:
 
I have welded in 40 series flows from the previous owner and I love the sound and the drone is the best part. Actually I wanna put something in to make it louder and sound better, maybe an X pipe. No idea how to reduce the drone. 1000W stereo maybe? I had killer drone in my civic but 4 infinity speakers and an 8" Kicker L7 sure took care of that.

Get a Bassani O/R X-Pipe, then itll be loud and sound damn good.
