I have tons of drone from 2.5k rpms to 4k rpms. Its very annoying. I drive 40 miles each way to work at 70-80mph. I took it on the highway today and after 20 minutes it was wearing me down. I've got a catted system. Even around town at <3k rpms is pretty loud. Above 4k rpms, its not loud/droning at all.

The tone itself isn't bad, but the drone kills all the fun. I might just end up getting a different, larger resonator welded in.

I did notice that the car is easier to rev, which is great for downshifting.
