Staggering your resonators will certainly cut it down. I've got stingers and an O/R H and once I did that it cut down the drone drastically.

The only way to eliminate drone is with....uh crap. Total mind fart here.

Anyway, its essentially a pipe of (x) distance that comes off from your midpipe. The idea is to get the pipe to the correct length to cancel out the soundwave's that cause the drone. Of course the length will vary from every car to every car, but its the only way to truly eliminate drone.

Once I remember the name, I'll post some pics and you'll see.

Yep, another forum member suffering from CRS (Can't Remember ****), NOT to be confused with CSR (Chronic Sperm Retention).

I was reading about that awhile back...from what I was seeing it takes about a 2 foot long pipe, capped at the end, to act as a "resonator tube." And apparently only where the pipe comes off the main exhaust pipe has to be at 90 degrees to the stream, so I guess you can tee it off, run an elbow and run the pipe alongside the main pipe. I saw some pictures of guys running ones off their tailpipes on Foxes...looks like kind of a pain to get them in there.

Cutting in with some pypes m80s will help. Mine are staggered a few inches. It will deepen your tone some and eliminate any trumpeting as well. Changing your axlebacks is another option. What flowmasters do you have? I had American Thunder and they didnt drone at all even with cams, LTs and offroad H but when I went FI they sounded like total sh*t and had to go.
