Default Anyone with a Billy Boat PRT?? Does it drone??

My C5 came with a Corsa Sport and I loved it!!

Our C6 came with a Magnaflow, model unknown, and it drones...

So, trying to figure out if the PRT has any drone. I know I'm safe with the Corsa!

I have the B.B. PRT system on my 03 Z06 and I’m very happy with it. Doesn’t drone. I first installed it behind the stock exhaust system. Recently I installed Kooks long tubes w/ a catted x-pipe. It’s definitely louder with the headers but still no drone while cruising. I really like the sound as well!

Same here. Very happy with it. Shorty headers attached to the stock H-pipe and then the PRT's. The oval tips really look great also if those are the ones you're after.

No drone from mine, just a beautiful growl.

No drone here either. Been on multiple long trips (500+ miles a day) with very little issue from the sound.

Hi Jeff:
Like the others, I have the PRTs and really like them. Nice, authoritative sound at start up and acceleration but mellow sound otherwise. No drone. My best commercial for this exhaust is that my wife brags to others about how nice the sound is and that we can carry on a conversation at highway speeds with no problem.
Here's a short clip of mine at idle. Maybe it'll help.
C5, Kooks LT and catless x-pipe.

Here's another video of my system. Go to about the 6 minute mark in the video to get to the B&B's.
