I guess I am a not so mature adult. Maybe a kid in an adults body? I like drone. Its music to the ear. Loud but not obnoxious. Go with the Borla Stingers. If you like the muscle car sound, its for you. My wife loves it too!! You can just call us the Drones. We don't try to keep up with the Jones,but we do keep up with the Drones

Get the Borla

It won't sound like a boat at idle they both sound great at WOT but the Borlas are my favorite.

Some people mistake Drone with loud.... Drone is a Harmonic anomaly.. it is similar to hearing a bad speaker,,, In the photography field it is called noise ( a fussy representation, not clear )Some people have a bad speaker and do not even know it.. others pick up on it right away.
The drone can be slight or more pronounced. It can become very annoying to a sensitive ear,even to the point of headache. Drone is not a clean frequency response, The only thing I can say is if the owner of a drone system like Borla is happy with them , then that's great,others riding in a Borla car for the first time may not be so tolerant, but to say they dont have drone is just not true, and only their perception.. Many people have bought Borla's on the strengths of others saying they dont have drone, only to be disappointed in the fact that they do.
