I was too sensitive to the 3K drone which was right at my highway cruising speed. The volume was not a problem for me - loved it, in fact, but at prolonged cruises I was getting a headache. I mentioned in other posts that some people are more sensitive to this type of thing than others. I wish I wasn't one of the sensitive ones as everything else about the Evo 3 was fantastic.

Do you have plans to install the Perrin Overpipe at some point? Since you already replaced the front, you've already crossed the Rubicon as far as emissions are concerned. Might as well go all out, no?

yes, but the installation of the overpipe requires lifting the motor a 1/2 inch or so i've been told (not required per se, but really helps make install easier). which scares me even though i'm sure its not as hard as it sounds.

Oh okay, it wouldn't be a bad drive then. I'm over in Queens so I figure around an hour or less. I'm having trouble deciding between non resonated and resonated so I'm definitely interested in checking it out. Did you do any other mods aside from the exhaust that may have changed the sound of the exhaust at all?

The can also vouch for the no drone as I have the non resonated catback with overpipe and catted front pipe.
At first, the mechanic didn't tighten everything good enough and wooooo boy... lots of exhaust leak and I was sad that my system sounded like that lifted the car and loosened, and tightened everything to my liking and all the "drone" exhaust leak sound poofed away. more driving down the line coated the pipes with exhaust soot and it's perfect now. almost stock rumble at idle and cruising on highway, barely audible. I hear my tires more than my exhaust! unless I'm stepping on it of course |

The non resonated pipe is pretty quiet if tightened properly. There have been a few reports of loud systems turning out to be loose bands or bolts. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 |
