Default BB Bullets w/ Longtubes

Those of you with this setup, Is there that horrible drone in the cabin? I know they sound good outside but I do not want to get them and have them drone.

To me, the drone is bad at times. I think I'm just getting old though lol. I wan't my car to be a little more on the stealth side.

That is what I run, LG Pros, no cats... what drone??? Hugh? Did you say something??? What Seriously, it sounds insane and it drones, shreeks, wails like a banshee, sounds like godzilla licking teeth (my favorite)... It is bad, but sick in a very good way. These cars are not stealth IMO and they way they sound stock is just too tame for me.

Now with LTs and Bullets Too much for the street driving for most of us. Get in the go fast peddle once and it just gets insane. Good side, is at the track, pretty much no one will want to run you unless they have a big bottle

402 with Long tubes, no cats and B&B Bullets lasted about 1 week on my car. Resonation was horrific to the point that my ears would be ringing after 1/2 hour in the car. Sounds bad azz outside but was way too much to bear.

I switched to GHLs and it makes all the right noises under throttle, cruise and lifting without the horrible drone.

Default bullets

I have bullets ,LG street headers and high flow cats. and x pipe. I would not trade the sound for any other setup. I am 61 yrs old so maybe my hearing is not as good as it used to be ,butI lost the drone when I added the headers. I drove 2000 miles to fla. and back and it never bothered me at all,but everybody looked when I drove by.

A partition will help muffle out some of the drone!

I've been thinking about doing this as well, but I do have cats on. So I'm curious any other opinions from guys running this WITH cats?

Here we go! ARH Long tubes with HF cats and B&B Bullets! Mods are in sig.
But my motor (I mean cam and heads are stock) so this is the type of sound you would get on a stock car: NO IB4TL, as this was done on a private road.

same here...and mine is a daily driver

wouldn't want any other setup

i don't notice any drone (i think the headers actually reduce the drone created by the bullets)

i'm 25 years old though
