thanks for the great review!

if you want zero drone, try the ABM (axle back muffler)

guaranteed to have zero drone

the resonator on the AB lessens the drone on the muffler delete but does not fully eliminate it. but is it definitely better and quieter than the BERK or the MachV deletes that dont have any resonator

The drive around videos were of the mid pipe and AB-M though right? Cause they sounded great. And having no drone with as much highway driving as I do is a huge selling point.

the drive to work today was fun. roads were relatively empty due to the holiday and i really got to test it out. there definitely is some drone as our cars are rather poorly sound insulated, but it's not bad enough to bother me. i'm considering looking into dynamat down the line though.

here's a quick in-cabin video i took this morning while getting onto the highway:

The first videos I posted are the drive around w/ a full cutback system w/ the AB-M Axleback. ZERO Drone.
