Bad drone with Magnaflow and DrGas, what should I get?
First of all, I want to say that over all, I LOVE the sound of the two together. Man, when you rev that thing, it’s fairly tame sounding till about 3.5k RPM then it just roars! When I pull up to a ricer and rev the engine, they won’t even look me in the face. (Maybe it’s the wine of the supercharger)
The bad part though (IMO) is that at about 2k – 2.5k RPM on the Interstate, it’s got this really loud drone sound. You have to open the window to be able to stand it. It’s funny, if I drop it into 4th and go up to about 3k+ it sounds fine. Hehe, at least on the good side, it got rid of my wind noise problem, I can’t even hear it anymore!
If this were not my daily driver, I’d leave it the way it is. BUT, I drive it quite a bit. I drove two hours on the Interstate this weekend and wanted to blow my brains out.
Ok, I’ve got a Magnaflow Catback, DrGas Offroad X Pipe. I’m guessing the DrGas is probably causing most of the sound “Issues”. Also, it’s a convertible and I really don’t want it “that” loud.
I talked to a guy that said that the drone might be because the magnaflow is a straight through muffler and to try Flowmasters. His opinion was that it would not have the drone.
I like the performance benefits of the DrGas, I just have to come up with a combo that won’t kill me!
I know this was a long post, but please help!!!
