And when Im driving at that one point it does drone I usually have the stereo up load and dont hear it. Just when the wife is with me that its a little loud. Now I willsay I love the tone of this exhaust better than any other one I heard on here so far and there are gains. Just wondering if I can cut down on the 2K drone some. Also I have the 7AT which might make a diff with the drone. So going to 18s will or wont help with this?
We'd have to ask Tony about the difference the resonators would make.

I am the same way as you. My girlfriend has sensitive hearing so not just the drone, but the volume alone bothers her on any extended trips.

When I am by myself I am not bothered. It's there, but it's not a real bother. The ECU whine cuts through the drone and pierces my ears anyways. That's the only thing in the car noise-wise that bothers me. Actually it kills me.
