Hi, just looking for some advice. Now before I say this I'll get the flame suit on. I recently purchased a stainless 2.5" xforce system brand new for 800 from a mate in the industry (has own business) so for that price can't complain. I can't afford to pay thousands on a catback as My family and house comes first. So anyway the fitment is good, the welds are good all that is good even when causing on highway it's good! No drone or barely any. But when cruising around town with partial throttle around the 1800 rpm mark it gets a shocking booming drone sound in the cabin but if you give it some more throttle it's fine. So my questions are:
1) is this just a fact of life with an auto ssv?
2) will the headers and high flow cats and tune make a difference?
3) the flanges were different coming off the factory cats to the xforce flanges but it still seemed to bolt up ok is that right? Or did those lip things need to be cut off the factory cats?
And finally I had a 3' xforce on my old manual ss sedan and it was fine no issues whatsoever so I tend to believe it's just a bitch having an auto with that partial load always being on the engine. The sound is awesome too! And also I don't want people saying get rid of the xforce problem solved and in the next breath promote your own product that you make a profit off. I want unbiased opinions please. And again I know xforce isn't the best but we aren't all made of money and I just think that it's just the fact that it's auto that's doing it. And it's NOT AFM by the way. Sorry to be so sinacle but I just need some info is possible.
Cheers!
