Default Boomtubes??

So how much drone do these have, I'm looking for something louder and think these might be it but don't want a ton of drone.

Thanks!

Iget some around 1900 - 2k rpm's but not bad at all. Just got back from a weekend trip with the car. 400 miles round trip and at highway cruising speeds you can hardly hear them. Just a sweet lowrumble.

Plus 1 on the above comments. Some drone from 1800-2000 but otherwise it's fine.

I'm surprised they drone at all being pretty much straight pipes.

well from what i can tell if the weather is warm barely any drone but if it gets a lil cooler the a lil drone in the mentioned rpm range. Dosent bother me at all all the more reason to hotrod it and drive it at higher rpms. :P At cruisin speeds its just a nice low rumble. Had the magnapacks b4 and the boomtubes are just so beastin and the tips look awsome too!

OK thanks, I have the Hookers now and I love the sound very deep and not too much drone for as deep as they are but they are too quiet.

I'm trying to decide between changing them for something louder or getting a x-pipe to wake them up, I'm just worried that waking up the sound will also wake up the drone!
