Default Magnaflow Drone - resonator?
Trying to lighten the 1600 RPM drone a bit. Anyone have any thoughts? Specifically thinking about inserting a 12” resonator from Classic Chambered Exhaust. Anyone use this product? Was also contemplating trying a chambered exhaust setup.

Collector inserts will get rid of all or almost all of it. I use this one:

I hadn’t seen that product. Seems like a nice option.

A PROPERLY placed H-pipe will do wonders to reduce drone. Most H-pipes are placed too far back for best efficiency. Placing the H-pipe up front near the header collectors reduces the drone significantly.

I use those on my car with the cap that has the center hole in it. Seamed to work well without a significant amount of power loss.

I used these on my C4 with Billy Boat exhaust, they did knock some of the drone off. I only lightly tack welded them into the pipe. My web attachment skills don't exist, so the links may not work.
