fix drone on muffler delete?

michaelalex17 · 05-30-2011, 11:36 AM

i did a muffler delete and love the sound but hate the drone. should i install resonators to help the drone?

You literally just asked this in your other thread.

michaelalex17 · 05-30-2011, 12:51 PM

no i asked about adding aftermarket mufflers before. i am asking about adding resonators for drone.

Sorry but resonators do not help with drone, only with rasp. Muffler delete should be forbidden !

Agree i told the OP this as well..some type of muffler set up is the only solution..no way around drone w a muffler delete..i thought he had done straight pipes from DP back but he is still using the OEM secondary cats and still has drone..therefore only solution are mufflers

Good job editing your thread after I called you out on it. Your other thread asked about mufflers then you asked about resonators. Directly after, you started this thread. Either way, the answer is that the resonators won't dramatically help your drone, if at all. I guess I should respond in your other thread too, so people have the answer lol. Just busting your balls man.

I have magnaflows too. They sound good. They aren't super loud but they still have some drone. I heard a set up with oem mufflers and the resonators cut out that sounded badass with no drone. That may be my next move.

AE + Catless DP's = No Drone

im also interested in res delete on a OEM muffler. someone should post a sound clip if they have this set up done.

Resonators do actually help with drone, just not all that much.

E90Vader · 05-30-2011, 08:29 PM

Drones not that bad man... I am secondary catless, resonator less and muffler less.... I love it!

michaelalex17 · 05-30-2011, 08:35 PM

can someone with the sedan with a muffler delete chime in. because the sedans have resonators and if they say the drone isnt bad then thats the way to go.

I think the more cats the worse the drone. My friends plain muffler delete drone is little worse IMO than my muffler delete with CL DPs. Some may disagree, but thats just the way it seems to me.

We'll see how the drone is when I go fully cat/muffler less in a few weeks

I did. I still had secondary cats, oem resonator, and stock DPs. It was a pretty bad drone even with the stock resonator.

OP i know you are really hoping that someone is gonna come here and tell u can keep ur setup and somehow get rid of drone..but its not happening..U have to use mufflers...either stock or aftermarket

michaelalex17 · 05-30-2011, 08:55 PM

yeah im either gonna go magnaflow or put stock back on. i just wanna know if the magnaflow is worth it or i should just go back to stock

The magnaflow i have on my eclipse droned alot w a straight pipe..but after i thru a cat on there it is now tolerable..obviously thats a diff car so take the advice for what its worth..

michaelalex17 · 05-30-2011, 09:00 PM

no i meant get rid of the straight pipes and get a magnaflow muffler, or get rid of the straight pipes and put the original muffler back on.

tibra1 · 05-30-2011, 09:04 PM

i always run a muffler..but i tried catless + magnaflow first and drone..then after i put the cat it was MUCH better..

I'll be going fully catless before you :P
Hoping to install AA CL DP's within the next 2 weeks.
Currently those cats are the ONLY restriction on my car and exhaust.
can't wait for my car to be louder, I love it!

Is this really true? I find it hard to believe and I've been through alot of set ups. It's absolutely silent on the highway with no music on?
