you mean switching the rear mufflers with a different type of muffler and keeping the same hot dogs?...

switch to a full system with extractors and let the fun begin :D

does it eliminate drone because its a clearer note? see i dont care about loudness its just the boom/drone that does my head in...when i had the same sys on a ute it was fine but now its farked

I have heard alot of problems with people who have cat back, I have 1 3/4 Extractors and 3" System all the way through and I have no drone at all on 60.. around a 100 I have a tiny little bit its more I can hear my exhaust rather than true "drone" but its very unnoticeable and with some music on low you cant even notice it :)

Yeah full system ftw. All systems will tend to have some resonance but my kpm is excellent at 100, hardly even know it's there.

Mine drones to the shithouse too, especially on the freeway.

Mine is a full 3" system but mine is cammed also which doesnt help.

Im gonna have a look into what I can do to get rid of the drone. It does my head in too.
