Crossover pipe question
I have some BB rt 66 cats and want to get rid of the drone @1500rpm. I hear a crossover pipe should be added. Is there a difference between the brands? I see the Borla, Corsa, and others ranging in price from $299 to $499. How much difference could there be in the performance to justify the higher price?

Not going to help the drone.
You can pick them up in the parts section for $150 - $200
Peace

Do you have headers? That may change the velocity and help minimize the drone but as far as get rid of it, I don't know. Maybe someone else can chime in with an experience of correcting this. Mine drones slightly but only at 1200-1350 rpm's. Good luck with finding a cure.

An X pipe should at least cut down on the drone,,might not eliminate it but should make a noticeable reduction. The stock H pipe has only about a dime sized hole in the main pipe sidewall for cross over effect!! Kind of useless for sound and exhaust balance!!Should also reduce the crackle and pop on deceleration!!

I have a corsa and like mine. It really helped the corsa pace car exhaust.

I had the same exhaust on mine and had the drone and popping when letting off the gas. I installed a Bassani X-pipe and eliminated about 95% of those problems. Plus it made the exhaust sound better. I'd recommend the Bassani for sure.
