Thanks for replying Tony. If you acknowledge (as I do) that you make no claim that your exhausts have no drone, then I'm not sure why the thread title is an insult or a problem. But I can change it if that's possible to something else.

The main issue is with the misinformation so prevalent on here. After chats with you I knew what your quietest option was. After that the rest of the info necessarily comes from videos, reviews, general posts on here, and finding people's systems to listen to (something I already acknowledge I didn't go enough of). The fact I can look two threads below this one and find someone blatantly suggesting FI exhaust have "no drone" whatsoever to a guy specifically stating he wants none and "hates drone with a passion" speaks pretty loudly to what I'm referring to. I know you don't have control over what others say on here, but you are pretty active. I'd think if you really wanted to quell that type of thing that a few visits from you into threads like that, to set people straight, would have people producing more accurate information. So you should accept some responsibility for allowing this type of misrepresentation to go on. Maybe it's been good for business and you looked the other way, but it's not accurate. And you shouldn't cry foul when I start a thread calling out bad info that you (presumably) agree is incorrect.

My options at this point are to live with it (not likely due to what I estimate to be 100 db+ of low-frequency harmonic resonance drone in the interior), pay someone a couple hundred to manufacture Helmholtz resonators, or return it and accept the loss of some money for trying out something that didn't work out. I would go with option 2 except for the unknown outcome of how much drone would actually be gotten rid of...
