I've had my FI exhaust for some time now, and it's always had a drone. At cruise speeds it sounds like there is a constant drone in the cabin, making the exhaust sounding pretty loud in the cabin, but if was standing outside it would still sound stock sounding.

If i get HFC's or TP's will that make the drone even louder?

I have the TP's and there is a drone between 2000-2500rpm which is my cruising speed, all I can say is that it is still there but mine is not that bad.

I am not really sure there is, I would hope that others who have experienced this issue could chime in or you could do a search on exhaust drone

i got the same drone u guys are talking about.

i have the FI intimidator + FI 300 cell HFCs and it's drony from around 2000-2500 for cruising speeds (i.e. 6th gear on the freeway). i'm always self-conscious whether or not the passenger is annoyed with this drone.

for me, i can bear it i guess. but when people are in the car, i tend to just cruise in 5th sometimes because at higher RPMs, it's not so bad.

because of this, i was thinking of getting into HKS. iono.....there's no way to get rid of it i think. i even tried Raamatting my car and it's still there. fock me....i guess that's the tradeoff with modding. =/

hmmm can anyone else with the FI exhaust let me know if they have drone too? I was thinking about switching to HKS also, but I guess I think I can just bear it, it just kind of sucks because it's kind of loud.

ppl who say there is no drone at all are lying, i got my FI exhaust installed last week and there's massive drone in cabin at those rpms mentioned above, i have HFCs + FI exhaust. If you're 5AT you'll get mad drone

I hear there's less drone with a 6MT due to the lower RPMs?

I'm planning on getting FI with HFCs nonetheless

I am a 5AT and I don't get mad drone but I'm not NA either so that probably helps.
