Hey Ryan
I had a manta 2 1/2 mild steel system fitted about three months ago. Cat back through to hot dogs then rear mufflers. No front muffler. I don't reckon it drones. You will pick when the AFM kicks in though it's noticable. You lose the exhaust note to a "tinnier" sound. If you just feather the throttle it will deactivate and return to the V8 note/ burble. Happens on the highway when cruising around 90 to 100 Ks.
I'm stoked with the sound of my car. Sounds good at idle and awesome if you put the foot into it. Loud enough without any crackle and pop on deceleration which I hate.

I ended up with a full HM setup on my ute - 1 7/8" headers, cats to match and a twin 3" vband all in stainless - hotdogs up front and mufflers at the back. I was advised there would be a very slight amount of resonance at 1800-2k rpm (which there is, very slight) with the 3" but the 2.5" setups are guaranteed to be drone free (I notice the drone less as there's not much of a cabin for the sound to resonate in, unlike a wagon). Sounds very nice.
On a wagon (that has a huge cabin for sound to resonate in) you want to stick to a 2.5" from a reputable brand - it seems the ones that run a H-pipe drone the least (so Manta/HM/ I think DiFilippo run a H). I was almost sold on a Manta setup but I got a price I couldn't refuse for a whole package from Tekno Performance.

Drone? What drone? With me it's either a car load of screaming kids or if they aren't there I'm blasting Pantera :rockon:
