I find it interesting, but my PE definitely 'drones' a little (w/ stock headers and secondaries). About as much as what you're describing. It's definitely there. But what is drone? It's just exhaust noise. I feel like it's probably impossible to have an exhaust that you can hear without it ever 'droning.'

That's one reason that I'm even more excited about going to the 3.73 rear end, though. Bumping up the revs should eliminate that tiny bit of drone I have. I bet if you were on your stock rear end, your droning would be worse for sure.

It sure is fun thinking about exhausts, and cars in general - and trying to essentially reverse-engineer what the guys at BMW did.
