Default Is there a "happy medium" to my exhaust troubles?

Stock manifolds to stock cats to prochamber to Mac axlebacks - Unacceptable drone.

Changed to:

Corsa axlebacks - Too quiet.

Would Stingers be a happy medium?

Resonators witht the macs.. still the MAC sound.. without the "sitting on a bass string" feeling.. But it will cost around $80 to $100 at a local muffler shop.. and they are wealded on.. so if you still dont like it, you are stuck with resonators.. or new pipes.

Stingers will give unacceptable drone also, similar to the macs. I have less drone now with the o/r h added to the stingers. Actually calms down the exhaust pulses.
If your looking for a medium, maybe o/r h to stock mufflers? Have you tried your prochamber to stock axlebacks? Won't be as loud, but maybe acceptable for you.

You have me thinking here.

What about removing the prochamber and installing an x pipe with hiflow cats with the Corsas?.

+1 to removing the prochamber and putting on an x with hiflows or an offroad x with the corsa's.

Have you listened to the corsa's outside the car? I was really surprised with how much louder they were outside and decided that was the sound I wanted.

Yes, I have listened outside, and when I do, I am impressed. Theyare deceptively loud outside. It's so quiet inside, I guess I miss hearing the exhaust.

I think I'll try a Magnaflow catted x pipe.
