Flowmaster Drone!!!
Ok, I recentily put on a BBK o/r X-pipe. I have factory manifolds with Flowmaster 40 series welded in. The exhaust drone between 2000 to 2700 r.p.m.'s is unbearable. At first I thought I'd get use to it (I only drive it on the weekends) but after a four hour trip to Orlando to Fun Ford Weekend I decided it was to much. Do you guys think I'd be better off with Magnaflow or Magnaflow "Magnapack" cat back systems. I'm not bothered by the noise of the Flowmaster 40 series, just that constant drone at crusing r.p.m.'s. Also MustangTuning.com has both Magnaflow exhaust systems for $469.95 shipped. One more thing I'd like to keep the price around that, so I guess no Bassani. So please give me your opinions and experience.

RE: Flowmaster Drone!!!
You'll probably get the good ol' drone no matter which of the two you buy. I had dynomax superturbos on the stock system before buying a new catback and they did not drone much at all. I didn't like them that much due to them being a bit too quiet. I don't have that problem anymore.

RE: Flowmaster Drone!!!
the regular magnaflow catback does not drone at all..but it only gets loud when you romp it..the magnapacks will be very loud, but again, no drone, just a little humm because they are straight through
as soon as i get some extra cash the flows are gone

RE: Flowmaster Drone!!!
My MAGNAflows drone and I only have mufflers on their right now. I couldn't imagine with an offroad X.
Im 18, its definitely not an age factor, the flowmasters especially drone the **** out of the car and they sound horrific. I want to cry everytime I hear them, and my magnaflows are really starting to get to me.
I don't mind the noise at ALL, hense (look at my sig) LOL! But the drone is just so piercing in my ear, and like I said I only have mufflers. Just a bad sound.

RE: Flowmaster Drone!!!
I have the SLP loudmouth 2's with stock mid-pipe....I think they sound nice, not all that loud inside the car but sound nice outside of it...espescially when u get on it. They have them at mustangtuning.com for $427 i'm pretty sure thats where i got mine from this winter...In my opinion they sound better than the magnaflow's but that's just me. (the drown isn't bad)
