Hey all!

I have a '12 Sport Touring, with almost every bolt-on mod available.

I purchased my FI exhaust from a friend a while back, as it was a good deal, and was available that day. I had watched virtually every video on the exhaust, but when it was installed, I really realized that I would never like the drone, mostly on highway speeds. Yes, I know that many of you will want to beat me for this...

I have the 18" Resonators, as well as Resonated Cats from FI. I was able to get rid of almost all interior resonation with a combination of the resonators, as well as dynamat and thinsulate from the seats-back, but the drone out the *** end is just a bit too much for me.

So my question is, if I were to look for an exhaust that has good performance, yet reduced interior drone, which one should I be looking at?

It seems like many love the ARK GRiP for its lack of drone? Are there any good competitors to ARK for low drone-high performance that I should be looking at?

Thanks in advance!
Alex

P. S. It has an automatic transmission.
