If your car is otherwise stock, there should be no additional drone with our Street system, but once you start getting into headers, cams/porting and other mods, the sound of the exhaust will be affected. This is something that is true for any exhaust system.
Notice the operative deflection there: ‘there should be’. IF they are a factory rep, why the hedge? Lots of anecdotal should/would/could in that statement. The only completely drone free exhausts that I’ve seen is Corsa and GM Z06 Ti’s.

Any car I've ridden in that has a Magnaflow on it has droned. Sometimes so bad it makes you almost sick.

I know this is an older thread, but I want to thank all those that shared their knowledge and experience in this thread and many others as well. Newer Corvette owners like myself glean a lot of knowledge from the rest of you without having to find out the hard way as much, and I really appreciate that. I love the magnaflow sound but I do not want any drone, especially since my car is a convertible. . I'm most likely going to get the Corsa Sports because the Xtremes are a little too loud for my taste and the sports leave me some room to grow if I decide to get headers, X-pipe, etc. The drone from the magnaflows and the volume from the Corsa Xtremes would be a lot to deal with on road trips and long drives in the mountains here in Utah, especially when I put the top down.
