Hi, first time poster here so please be gentle.
Recently purchased an 06 SSV manual transmission and the exhaust that was fitted is extremely loud and droning under 2000rpm, anything above that it sounds fantastic.
The exhaust has new extractors (don't know size), stock cats, 3" mild steel connected to stainless 10" hotdogs, 3" stainless through to rear mufflers which are basically hollow.
Other mods are CAI fed with stainless tubing, tune (no idea what type).
I went to a performance shop and the guy there told me it was the hotdogs with just a quick glance and quoted me $940 to get them changed to mufflers, which is something I could just do myself if I sourced the parts. I know there are a lot of exhaust threads but I haven't been able to find something similar to my problem. It makes it very unpleasant to drive @ 110kmph and you can hear the drone over max volume stereo.
What I'm aiming for is a deep tone that is loud at anything over 2000 rpm but when cruising it is quiet and to get rid of the drone.
Any help is appreciated
