Go to the link to hear them: http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette-1-119-578.html

From everything I read, this system has drone

Almost all exhausts have drone, outside of the TI set that comes with the Z06

I had a set of them on my '00 6-speed. Great looking system and they sound a little better than stock, but yes, there was a lot of drone, especially in 5th or 6th gear on the highway (around 1600-1900 rpms). I ended up installing a Bassani X-pipe on the car and I would say 95% or more of the drone went away. I was very happy with them after that.

If you want a system without any drone (and not have to install an X-pipe), look into the Corsas. I have the Pace Cars on mine now and they sound great with absolutely no drone and mine is an A4.

Here's a link to the website with an example if your computer speakers are good enough to give you a true picture . . I sent you a PM on a set here in PHX- probably the ones you're referring to in your message . . .

I have them on this C5 and my C6 . . just right for me . .
