Yea no drone. The piping was mandrel bent and I have driven on 2 50 mile trips in the past 2 days. not bad. I did heat wrap the straight pipe, where there was a weld??? could have helped.

the reader says 3% when I did get tickets. Then I became smart and received a prescription for tint. Due to headaches.

Yeah that 2200-2600 rpm will let you know if it drones or not! The Cattman rear muffler was removed (since I now Have Cattman Headers) cause my wife and I didn't wanna hear all that on our 250 mile trips to Louisiana. I can drive at 80 mph and it was pretty dam quiet by you can't always cruise at that speed 24/7. But I'm glad you're happy, what kind of exhaust system was that? Looks like a Megan Racing!

HKS. Yes I plan on headers so I did keep that in mind. you are right about the 80 its quiet but you def cant always be going that fast.

Must have been your out of state plates. I have 5% on the sides and rear window, and 30% on the whole windshield of my Camaro and same for the Maxima except the windshield is only 50%.

Okay The Drone is def there!( 60-70)(80 no more drone) I have been traveling to and from West Palm and it is starting to get a little annoying, BUT it sounds so good at WOT. I have been saving for the Headers and hopefully I will get them by next Month.

I may try and keep the Stock Y pipe with the Headers if Possible. I need to look more into this tho.

Thanks for the comments.
