It wasn't too bad, actually. Interestingly enough, after taking the exhaust off and going back to factory, I noticed the factory exhaust has a "drone" at 1800rpm as well. I think what's happening is that the aftermarket exhausts are just making that sound louder. It was not ear splitting by any means - and rarely heard, as I always drive the car in Sport mode -- my wife just complains about any sound, and she drives the car as much as I do, so I relented.

The worst drone I'd ever heard was Fabspeed on my 06 Carrera S; it was so horrible, I turned back around and had the shop take them off.
