The Majority of the Droning is when AFM is active, talking with greg i think it was from KPM he said they only had trouble with one wagon that had AFM enabled and to stop the drone they had to disable it. I will have to get some pics / sound files up and show the set up, as im sure the exhaust tips finish a fair way before rear bar. If worse comes to worse ill just get the AFM disabled, i have heard of people getting better consumption with a cat back exhaust OTR intake and tune than AFM anyway..

If this is the case and most of the drone is when AFM kicks in, well then thats easy cause you only have 2 options because this is a very common issue!
1) Disable AFM completely, or 2) Re-install standard exhaust.
There is a 3rd option, but that means selling current car and buying a manual... but thats hardly an option .
I havent heard of or seen an aftermarket exhaust that works god with AFM... if there was they would make an absolute fortune!
If it was me and I had a V8, disabling AFM would be done in an instant. It's basically mandatory to have a new exhaust on a V8, so you can hear it! And if you dont do a lot of hwy driving, AFM isnt much use to you anyway. Stop start and not getting into 3rd gear or above isnt giving a chance for the AFM to kick in anyway.
