I love my FI 18" Resonator catback but I can't agree with you more, I feel this is not the drone but vibration which literally shakes my car long with my head for a certain rpms which you mentioned, apart from that this thing is amazing.

I have to drive a distance of 90miles on motorway and 70mph cruise this drone/vibration/sounds is annoying.

I was told by someone if I can fix two flex pipes on the far most end near stock cats it can kill this thing, as our FI exhausts doesn't comes with flexpipes. Check with Tony as well and he was very cooperative as usual, but my problem comes I live quiet far so to get flex pipes shipped and get those TIG welded was an issue.

Much cleaner looking and no risk of rust. In the last pic, the exhaust tip is about one inch to the right of the black pipe.
Man thanks for the pics, I am a bit nobb in these frequency and size things. Would it kill this sound if I just attached something between these two tips or the size of the pipe has really a big importance and what kind of welding did you use?
