Looking to eliminate exhaust drone
Hey everyone. I currently have the flowmaster super 44 cat back exhaust with bbk shorty headers and off road h pipe. It's been fun being the loudest car around but I'm at a point where I want to lessen the drone and maybe not **** everyone off lol. Im only looking to replace the mufflers. Not a huge budget. Anyone have any suggestions for a really nice throaty sound but minimal drone inside the car?

That Dynomat stuff works pretty well at lowering cabin noise when placed in the hatch and rear seat area,under the carpet.

I dropped mine like 14db by custom fabbing some resonant tubes. Mine were in the neighborhood of 28-30" long. I have a vert so, I am sure that didn't help. My db level was 91 at cruise in 5th gear. Now it is down in the 70's. I am sure the wind noise could be close to that loud.

I got one of the pocket pods for my trunk to store my cleaning rags and other odds and ends in and to my surprise, it took care of my drone problem..it won't lower the loudness of your exhaust, but it did get rid of my drone. Mines a 2012, but they look the same so I figure it might work for you also.
