Cars rarely sound good when you're just cruising, unless its a V8 with a loapy cam.
Think a Ferrari would sound great over a 6 hour drive at a constant speed? I'm pretty sure even the biggest fan would get tired of it. |

That wasnt my point bud, I was saying it seems like everyone that buys a louder exhaust that wasnt really expecting it, just makes up for it by blasting their stereo and using that as an excuse cuz they dont wanna return it or go thru the shit of having to sell it for another one. It all just comes down to researching the product your getting, if its a droney exhaust and u dont want that, dont get it..
But saying that its droney..and then saying later that its not that bad cuz the radio drowns it out just sounds kind of off |

Anywaaaay.....I installed my Maddad midpipe this weekend to go with my Catless DP's and Maddad Whisper Axelback....YES it does drone in 2-3 gear at around 3000rpm. If I cruised around on the highway in those gears and that rpm then it would get tiresome...but I don't sooo.....

Driving at 80 mph in 6th gear, no drone and car is pretty quite at that speed; unless you slow down to 60 mph in 6th gear, then it will drone but you can always shift it into 5th gear to bring up the rpm to eliminate the drone.

So just to be clear our cars have 4 cats essentially 2 in the DPS and 2 in the midpipes. This midpipe boltsup tothe DP's and the Axle Back. Will adding this part throw O2 codes? or fail inspection? I like the cat looking resonators since here in PA they do visual inspection, these would be key.

The factory ECU is clueless about the rear cats that are in the midpipe. There are no 02 sensors after those cats meaning the ECU is not sniffing your exhaust stream after them, so no codes. Also on the subject of drone. If you replace your downpipes and everything else after them your just going to have to put up with some drone. I don't know of any setup that doesn't have some. Keep the factory downpipes and just replace the midpipe and axleback and you can almost get nirvana. Just a hint in 6th under very unusual circumstances(like cruising at 60mph in 6th then flooring it). There are a couple of reivews from guys with "downpipe back" setups of the midpipe and Whisper axlback and drone is almost non existant in except for the scenario above. R.
