FRPP 5230-SA otherwise known as KR mufflers, check them out on you tube. Just put them on and I love them, zero drone and nasty under full throttle...

I have boomtubes.....there is a drone at around 2600-2700 rpms if you just casually ease up to that range. If you're WOT...it's just awesome.

Drone is an annoying frequency or bass tone that makes your head hurt. In my auto at 80 mph, I have some drone....but at 78 mph, no drone. It almost makes me want to switch back to stock....but, on the other hand...WOT and high rpm's it sounds sooo good.

To really experience drone you have to be sitting in the cabin of a vehicle that has the drone. The vibration and "pulse" of it can't be captured on a video. You actually "feel" it and "hear" it at the same time.

When you hear drone, nobody has to tell you what it is. You know right away. It is like an annoying booming, moan type of noise that is at an almost constant and very annoying frequency. You feel and hear it kind of.
