Just get a steel pail big enough to fit over your head, put it onand have a buddy work on the outside of the pail with a power sander..... about like that on the highway.

Monstrous drone. ..

I've had Macs, GT takeoffs, Pypes Street-Pros andFord Racing Stingers on my car so far. I can think of good things to say about all of them EXCEPT the Macs...I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

I have the MRT Aero Turbine. It's nice and loud, but it does drone at consistent RPMs. I like it, though. At first the drone was really noticeable, but it doesn't bother me anymore. Just go to YouTube and type in MRT Aero Turbine... there are several video clips.

I have a MAC single. It sounds great..very deep.. but you NEED to have a resonator installed. That eliminates 90% of the drone. I take 80 mile drives with the wife and 3 year old all the time and they have no problems. The resonator is $60 with install at a muffler shop.

You can listen to sound clips in my signature... that was before the resonator... and it actually sounds deeper now.

Great at idle.. and has that gurgling sound on downshift.

Here is a clip of it on the dyno (with resonator)

Mine does that on downshift, too. And it's an auto.I don't remember it doing that when I had the stock exhaust, though. But it sounds pretty cool. .
