MAC Catback Drone?

MAC Catback Drone?
I did a search, but I couldn't find too much about this...
I really like the sound of the MAC Catback system (based on online clips, anyway), but I'm concerned about the level of drone. Based on what I could find, that type of muffler is going to drone somewhat. Can anyone who has the system comment on this? Also, if the drone is bad, is there anything that can be done to reduce it. Finally, what effect would changing the rest of the exhaust have (i.e. long tubes and a catted h/x pipe)?
Thanks,
Frank

When the windows are up is when its going to drone the worst. I have flowmasters and they are the same type of muffler. They will drone. But i really dont mind the drone anyways. MAC's tend to be louder than flowmasters so they probably would have more drone...but thats just deductive reasoning.

I don't feel that my MAC catback has much drone at all. I think if you do gears, this will increase the drone (esp on the highway). I am really happy with it. On the rare occasion that my wife has to drive it, when I hear my car start up or drive by, I'm all - man, that car sounds awesome. Then I realize it's mine.

all the chambered mufflers drone. thats why everyone calls flowmasters, dronemasters.
changing out the rest of the exhaust will make the car drone louder. the louder your exhaust is (headers and aftermarket midpipe) the louder the drone will be also. the drone on my flows is pretty bad with my or X, with the stock pipe its not bad (but the exhaust is too quiet with that). its something you have to and will learn to live with.
