RE: FRPP GTA Duals VIDS/PICS *WOT*
Seems as if there was some code in the original post that upset the BB code. Here's the "drone" part of the post; maybe it will go through, too. Fingers crossed:
Drone.
When I first tried the FRPP dual conversion, it seemed to me there was quite a bit of drone at California Freeway Cruising speed (80-85 mph), and the 15-1600 rpm "drone" I've heard of elsewhere is present. I think that is not "drone", but some kind of rattle that seems to come from the center stack (radio, heater controls area. An exhaust alignment adjustment removed the cruising drone, but the 15-1600 rpm (in gear) buzz-thing is still there. I asked the dealer mechanics to try tracing it per a TSB about that. The mechanic wrote a near-literate statement about "that's a part of the duals system" and gave up. I think he was wrong. I can feel the vibration through my throttle foot. Is that drone? Is it something that adding FRPP exhaust kits should produce? I think not. I need to make time to get them to try again. It's irritating.
I also need to drive with the top up more. It's amazing how many little knocks and ticks are covered by wind and road noise with the top down.
