O/R h and drone

[MAXX RS4]

Right now I'm running a hi flow catted Mac hpipe with 40 series American Thunder catback. The drone is pretty bad at around 2-2.4K rpm.

If I were to get an O/R h pipe, would the drone get better or worse?

 

[SvtBlack95]

i think the cat-back is what cause's the drone correct me if im wrong.... flowmaster is known for the drone

 

[MAXX RS4]

Right, I knew that.. But would changing the midpipe that has more flow create more drone or somehow negate it? Or would it be the same either way?

 

[SvtBlack95]

hmm not sure i mean the car will become louder without the cats im guessing it would add more drone... i know its not much help sorry :-\

<--- has o/r h-pipe......drone will only be louder....alot of the drone has to do with your flowmasters

 

[97WhitePony]

yep... i have flowmaster dual chambers... the drone is def. there. Threw some sound deadening to it... not GONE, but about 60 percent better... Its the muffs no doubt...

DroneMaster....sound great but that drone is annoying.

Yeah,

the flowmasters do drone alot and it will only get louder if you install an 0/R pipe.

Where do I put the sound deadener?

On the floor under the carpet I would assume

Well I have been looking at the SLP for a LONG time now, but I also like the MagnaFlow's :dunno:

 

[scarface]

I have a set of magnaflow SS mufflers Im thinking of selling

 

[Lightning Struck]

how many diffrent kinds of the magnaflows are there? How do the ones you have sound ???

 

[scarface]

2 different kinds. Magnaflows and magnapacks. I have the magnaflows...they are kinds quiet when you are easy on the gas, but when you step down on it you unleash the gods...

heres a crappy idle vid

[Lightning Struck]

got a nice mellow tone in that vid they have a good sound but auctually I want something with a pretty loud voice.......thats what got me interested in the SLP set-up, but I have heard Magnaflow's that were loud as hell.....they must have been the magnapacks ???

 

[95CALI-5.0]

I too have magnaflows. They are pretty tame at idle. But when you put some throttle it really wakes up.. You actually get the best of BOTH worlds. Loud when you want it and not drone when just cruising on the highway. A buddy of mine has Spintechs on his 00GT and around town it sounds great specially at idle. But on the freeway at over 2k RPMS the thing drones pretty bad!!!

The magnapacks are a different breed. They are loud !!! Some say louder than 1 chamber flows................

Im sorry but if you don't want drone don't get the SLP Loudmouths. Flowmaster is known for the drone. I have 40 series flows and I love the sound but the drone is harsh. Magnaflows are nice and tame. You might want to look into Borla. Borla makes some awesome stuff IMO.

I have a Mac O/R H-pipe with 2 chamber Flows and love it. I get lots of compliments.

What does your drone sound like ?
