Default Automatic and Flowmasters

I know that I could do a search on this, but I would like a simple answer to my question. Is the drone with the flowmaster axlebacks and automatic transmission annoying or not? Thanks.

Most people say that the flowmasters have a very annoying drone, though I've never heard them in person.

Flomasters drone. It is no more annoying than any other muffler system. It does not bother me that much. I had flows on my '04 GT auto and liked them. I have loudmouth on my '05 GT auto and there is no drone because of them being straight pipes.

I have a Mineral Grey 05 GT Convertable...

I am mythed on what to do with my car's exhaust system

Sandyman:
have you heard any other systems on our car, how did they sound compared to yours?

757GT:
How is yours set up, straight from the CAT to Tips? How is the sound compared to the flows?

GGIII:
Have you changed your exhaust?

I really enjoy the flowmaster sound on my GT automatic. I don't hear any drone.

sounds like it would cool.. CA emissions prevent me from attempting that.. How does it sound compared to Flows, have you heard flows on our cars?

There is a drone with my car, but its not enough to drive me crazy. I had a 99 Dodge Ram Diesel with no exhaust, so I guess anything is an approvement over that.
