I have the same setup right now, you are really sensitive to drone. You have never experienced real drone...

I've owned several cars that have had loud exhausts... C6 Z06 (cam/heads/LTheaders/full exhaust), C6 Vert(maggie/cam/heads/LTheaders/full exhaust), +1200WHP GTO, EvoX(everything 660awhp), R33 Skyline GTR(600whp), the list goes on... ALL OF THEM MODDED TO THE MAX (I get bored fast hehe) I agree most people on this forum HAVE NO IDEA what real drone is.. I was just saying that I was not expecting it since MOST reiviews (look it up) rave about the exhaust and no drone. No Biggie though I just wasnt expecting it, but like I said it'll prob just take some getting used to Looks cool though LOL |

Here are 2 people (who's opinion I respect much more than your's) who've had success with resonators reducing/eliminating drone.

Only going by firsthand experience, having a friend being an exhaust fabricator, and hearing many exhaust setups with resonators welded in. Different results depend on what setup one is running

What about rasp?? I've heard that catless dp's bring out some rasp, but with the hks resonators, does it rasp at all? Im going with that same exhaust/dp combo and rasp is definately something I can't stand... Anyone that has had hks + catless dp's please chime in

Well it looks great. Some people are more sensitive to drone then others but this car drones on almost any exhaust, except for a couple.
The AE Performance, HKS, and BMW Performance Exhaust drone the least from what I've been hearing. |

OP,
Let me start by asking you, what RPM are you driving/cruising at after the HKS install? Before you answer, I'll just tell you that if you cruise at the same rpm before and after the HKS install, of course your gonna get a drone!

No. Resonators can do both depending on placement, length, material, etc
