The TRUTH about aftermarket exhaust drone

ped

What's questionable about it? Tony himself agrees that FI exhaust have drone. So where is the problem with the thread complaining about the misinformation rampant in this forum that suggests they have no drone? If everyone in this thread agrees FI exhausts have drone I don't see the problem. And it certainly isn't a negative reflection on Tony or FI if forum posters constantly give out inaccurate info on their products (other than my mention that Tony could go a long way to stopping it by knocking some of them down - but he says he does that already and I believe him). So again, if you agree that FI exhausts have drone (to varying degrees or not is kind of irrelevant). And if you also agree that a LOT of people here represent FI exhausts as having no drone, or extremely minimal drone, yet I'm nearly positive I could sit inside my car and produce over 100db+ of drone with a DB meter. Then I'm wondering why it's a problem to point that out?

Don't you want people to be accurate about the products they discuss in here? It seems odd to me that you would like to stifle a conversation or suggest it's a problem to discuss being more accurate and how the lack of accuracy can cause people problems.

It looks like you need to complain to the people posting those reviews, lol

Do I think some combinations drone, sure. Now I can tell you if I owned a 7AT I would run Stock Cats, Stainless Steel Mufflers and 18" Resonators. Does that combination have some drone at certain RPM's, yes it does. I never said it did not! For me in my mid 30's is it tolerable, sure.

Now, I will state again when I talk to every customer individually I educate them on what to expect out of the exhaust. In fact, I have had a few people I did not sell the exhaust to over the years because I told them I thought our exhaust would drone too much for them and I would rather not make the sale than have an unhappy customer. If you had called me and expressed you distaste for drone I would of steered you away. But you did not purchase the exhaust through me.

Here is what I think is really bothering you.

#1 You are clearly unhappy about some members here who have a different take on my system droning than you do. You feel that it does and if they disagree with that feeling than they must be wrong.

#2 You feel you were mislead by who you purchased the system from and now they will not take it back and give you a full refund.

So those two things being touched on, why attack my system, reputation and business. You could of just picked up the phone and called me.

Thanks, Tony

It's your delivery. A thread like this is generally reserved for when a customer feels like their problem has just become a vendors problem.. And so its a bold move to take over something so insignificant as a difference in taste with other reviewers.

Drone is subjective. In its existence, no, it's not subjective... it's either there or it isn't. But once its obviously there, it becomes subjective for conversation. Drone is generally a fact of life in sports cars... Some will say a stock VQ drones. So your opinion of "no drone" is either none at all, or stock levels.

I can gather quickly that you are very specific about how you want your car to sound. So I feel like you should have taken greater responsibility to suit your very specific taste in exhaust note... And not just listen to the masses. When one reviewer says his combo has "no drone", you need to not take that so literally perhaps, or hear it yourself and decide.

The masses say that bacon is good. I hate bacon. I don't leave Oscar Meyer a bad review for it
