As mention previously in another thread, I just had installed the Roush catback system on my GT and I am finding the drone very bothersome to me. Probably because I must have a hearing problem. But anyway the drone is bad at 2000 rpm. At idle it is fine and like at 60 mph at 1500 rpm it is fine. But driving around 40 I am topicly around 2000.
I have made 3 videos of the Mustang. The first is when the Mustang was stock exhaust and I compared it to my Z28. The second video is the Roush installed from outside in the driveway. The third one is me driving around a little at various speeds and rpms. If Youtube didn't totaly compress and distort the video (it was long), you can plainly hear the drone at various times. At idle, downshifting, flooring it, the Roush sounds great. Its the steady state sound that is effecting my ears.
According to the dictonary, a drone is "1. a monotonous low dull sound ". It is the low frequency sound that like resonates in your head and makes your ears rings. Either yours is not doing it or you are not sensitive to it. You're lucky.

no worries man not trying to say your wrong its just most others have said there is no drone with there roush system. It just sucks if you hear something.
I hear no drone with mine. Are you sure its drone your hearing?
Mine drones as well at around 2000 RPM and I'm actually surprised that others don't hear it; it's pretty obvious. Granted it doesn't bother me as it just takes a little more RPM to get it to go away and I love the sound of the exhaust otherwise.

It's got so much power it can spin the tires!
THANK YOU! I knew it wasn't just me! Maybe the others don't hear it because they have the radio too loud or we have BETTER hearing

Either way guys these exhaust sound great and for the little drone you are hearing its no big deal really and no point in keep beating a dead horse about drone. Its an aftermarket exhaust that is pretty loud with no mufflers. Your pretty much asking for it. Imagine if the resonators werent there it would be really bad.
