Finally installed the exhaust..
There is a minimal drone while driving around 75mph (2300-2500rpm) in sport mode, and anything beyond 2600RPM, no drone at all but when driving at the same rate but in comfort mode (1900-2000rpm), throw on the ear plugs. You'll get this deep bassy drone that will shake the ear wax outta your ears. Therefore I keep it in Sports mode at all times. During acceleration, I noticed the gears change a lot faster and shifting isn't as smooth compared to stock. Feels like car jerks. But then again, i bet the computer is trying to get familiar with the exhaust and the new driving style. FYI, sorry I didn't get the before and after dyno. This exhaust set me back and i couldn't justify myself spending another $200 for 2 sessions of dyno's.

Stainless Steel. I'll probably have to look over the pipping connection because when i originally installed it Friday, i noticed there was an exhaust leak when i raised up the car and saw some black reside. I reconnected that section and the sound was alot more quieter.
Overall when i gun the car, no drone at all.

I disassemble and reconnected all the piping and sounds perfect now. Very minimal drone to none at cruising speeds (60-75mph) and love driving my car even more now.

Here u go. 3.8" tips are a perfect set up if you plan on installing the m5 diffuser. I've received a lot of complements especially on the titanium burnt tips

So guys. I got the full titanium exhaust I installed it and the drone is not normal. I brought it back to the exhaust shop they removed and reinstall the exhaust and the drone is not normal. I don't know how you guys say that this exhaust has no drone? Driving normal you have to cover your ears when pushing the car to high rpm the drone goes away. But other then that the drone sucks. Love the sound of the exhaust when you push it.

I've learned over the last few years that "no drone" to one person can make another person's ears bleed. I only have part of the lite speed cat back on my car, as I chose not to use their rear mufflers. I've gone a custom route and think it sounds great. I think it sounds more aggressive than the full catback and the drone is minimal. |

The axleback mufflers are made by Ark, designed for a Nissan 370z. They consist of a muffler with a side resonator, which has the sole purpose of eliminating drone. There is still some drone on my set up, but I find it to be minimal. This is probably attributed to smaller resonators on the lite speed or the fact that the mufflers were not tuned to our cars. Either way, I love it. |

Yes defenetly but one member here has the full titanium exhaust with catless down pipe and he says he has no drone that's impossible, I don't know if he even knows what drone is, prob thinks that's part of the exhaust sound,

this is such a BS, the exhaust has a sick sound when pushing the car but as far as the drone i cant stand it, you need to put ear plugs on, is there anything out there to get rid of the drone.

Get some vibrant resonators. Not sure where to install them but there is a strategic place to put them under car to get rid of most of it
