Getting sick of the drone from my exhuast....
.....what mufflers are out there that still have decent flow, but less drone at lower speeds? Doesn't have to be whisper quiet like stock , but something that is tolerable at lower speeds.

Its all dependendent on the muffler you have. Pick a quiet (and hight flow) muffler and you should be all set

You should hear my magnaflow, i got ticketed at 123 decibels @ 50ft. Either way, the cattman muffler is pretty quiet, or you could go with a dynomax.

It starts to restrict top end when you start to play with intake manifolds, headers, and extended rev limiters.

i'll let you know when I get my cattman rear section on my car this week....
Right now the connection between flange the pipe going to the muffler on my stock exhaust broke; its not very loud and it sounds pretty good for a broken exhaust minus the fact that my b-pipe is rattling around.

From quietest to loudest:
Stock y-pipe + stock cat-back
Stock y-pipe + Frankencar b-pipe + stock muffler
Stock y-pipe + Frankencar b-pipe + stock muffler + small exhaust leak
Stock y-pipe + Frankencar cat-back
Cattman y-pipe + Frankencar cat-back
Stock y-pipe + Frankencar b-pipe + Cattman rear section (with drone till 2500 rpm)
Stock y-pipe + GReddy EVO cat-back (with heavy drone till 2500 rpm)
*Soon to be added
-> Cattman y-pipe + Frankencar b-pipe + Cattman rear section
I won't comment on the "tone" and "deepness" because that discussion has proven to be very subjective and is more opinion than fact.

Btw, who even has that set-up? How about you make us some clips with your headers + stock cat-back for a start?
