Then I went to a Magnaflow muffler. No drone at any RPMs. I with I hadn't wasted my time with anything else. Mine might be slightly quieter because at the same time I switched to the 993 short headers from the B&B. But the Magnaflow seems to be MUCH better than the B&B or the Flowmaster. And I'm pretty sure it's the cheapest of the bunch, too.



Sounds SWEET.

Thanks, Jack. A soup can with a hose clamp? That's ingenius. Painted black? Have to say, it even looks cool. I think I'll try this tonight and see how it goes. Simply ingenius!

My drone actually isn't that bad so this may just fix it!
