I never had any real drone on the highway with Magnaflows, got it with the flowmasters at around 1800 rpm but it goes away past 2000, and I have ZERO drone with the flowmasters on the highway [sm=icon_rock.gif]
What rpm are you at on the highway? Doing 70 in 5th gear I'm right at 2000.

Im actually pretty quiet on the inside... seriously... once I get over 1900 rpm it's pretty quiet when Im easy on the gas... almost perfect. It gets really loud again around 3k.. perfect again. Flowmasters are just the perfect muffler for me. I love em.

When I drive around it really sounds like its not very loud, until my wife drives it down the road and she's like 10 houses down and I can still hear her from in the house and its LOUD ... ohhh to be a fly on the wall in my neighbor's houses haha.

i have flowmasters and they do drone and somtimes i wish i could hit the mute button, but then i realize they are really worth it. Because when i drive past a cround of people they always have to turn and look and its a good feeling!! I ussually get the drone around 1900 like md's sayn and it does disapear around 2000+ ussually. and outta curiousity which muffler is proven to free up the most power??

Its pretty much understood that Magnaflows are the best performing muffler available - they've went head to head with all the major brands many of times and always end up on top... the thing is though theirs only a few hp between most all of them, such a little difference that in my opinion you should choose a muffler based on the sound you prefer. I had Magnaflow and I switched back to Flowmaster because I preferred the Flowmaster sound.
