Drone with HFC's on Stock Exhaust?

I was wondering if HFC's would cause any drone at all? I have the X02 now, and the drone is very annoying. I'm looking to go back to stock + HFC's. Probably Berks, because theyre having a sale right now

I've heard HFC's and stock exhaust before. It wont drone like your XO2. I remember it just sounding like a louder Stock exhaust. But If you cut the resonator on the midpipe then you will be droning again.

No drone that I have heard with my Berk HFC's, MotorDyne XYZ and stock exhaust. Just a bit deeper and louder.

No droning when I had my F.I. HFC's + stock exhaust. Unless Berk HFC's are really crappy, you shouldnt drone with those either.

HFC's or test pipes will only increase the drone on the X02 and to top it off, you'll add rasp. You'll need to add a resonated x-pipe in place of the X02 resonators. My drone is gone and I can barely hear it cruising down the freeway.

I'm gonna take the X02 off next week....
haha yeah i know. it was very short lived. definitely sounds nice for the price, but its just not for me. i miss the stock tone lol

and thanks for your help, guys. Unless FI HFC's pop up in the classified soon, I'm probably gonna go with Berks
