Socalturbo Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I have been reading so much about the drone issues with these cars once the cats are removed. I Worked with ARK performance on an exhaust system with my genesis and when i had it and it produced no drone (3" TBE catless) SO i guess my question would be do you guys think these mufflers will help reduce the drone or would i be better off just adding a resonator or muffler in the mid pipe. http://www.arkperformance.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SM1301-0110G Im actually thinking of just picking up these tips from them and having an exhaust shop make an exhaust.

goneskiian Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Stock resonator in the mid and stock mufflers = no drone in the wagon. I may have to join you on that one MC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count 2 mufflers and 3 resonators there, if it's designed right it shouldn't drone. On a side note, i have the 3" obx wagon exhaust, stock dp, and the tips stick out a few inches (i dont really like the look but have gotten multiple positive comments). I think the long tips really cut down noise during highway cruise, even though it is a straight through non resonated system. Still would like to shorten the tips eventually though.
