Ill just wait to buy an exhaust that i dont have to redo when i get it, i think the point of buying an aftermarket system is to improve the power and sound, not have your local muffler shop weld in some random resonater with crappy welds to help reduce the drone, that should be taken care of by the manufacturer.

A muffler delete is not designed for the customers that are worried about noise or drone. Thats what aftermarket mufflers are for.

YES.

i only wish someone had made an honest review before i bought mine. and video clips do not illustrate how bad drone is
AB delete: 260$ + resonator 60$ + welder 70$ ~400$ , looks like a cat-back is worth the money after all

It may be disappointing that you have to modify it, but a good cat back will be at least 2x that. You have saved money. Nothing wrong with going custom. I am going to put a small magnaflow muffler on mine too.

Ok thank you then there is still hope, love the sound and all except the drone.
Only driven it like 150 miles so will try a bit more to and see if it helps.

Crazy loud at startup idle

When installing it I started the car up without rear muffler at all and it is kinda crazy how much the berk dual amplifies the sound.
Basicly id like the sound to be the same as without the test pipe, right now this should be called the Berk Dual exhaust sound amplifier pipe or something.
