With full exhaust installed I have to say that the Magnaflow axle back is perfect. There is drone at 1500 RPMs but that is not where I drive. It is not there for long. Wife approves also (that is something I was worried about) she compares it to our last vehicle which was unbearable.

Were glad to hear our system was the perfect solution for you! We'd love to see a video of the car if you get the chance.

I have had many Magnaflow setups over the years. It is quality stuff. You guys know exhaust. So for this once again I am running Magnaflow.

Perhaps. But note that LG Motorsport long tube headers with Corsa mufflers has NO drone at any speed. This is with hi-flow catalytic converters too.

I got the Magnaflow 15884 cat-back on a stock 2005 and it's a bit too mild in regular driving though, when you open it up, it does sound a lot better. But it doesn't burble as much as my '95 Camaro Z28 did when I put a Magnaflow cat-back on that. I wish I had kept the Camaro until after I got the Corvette modified so I could've compared. But part of that problem is that I think the Corvette is quieter from the factory.

And mine does drone but not unless I am under a constant load like driving up the Grapevine in Southern California. Going up that with some foot into the pedal to keep a constant speed really gets a low drone going and can be quite annoying after 10 minutes or so. But regular daily driving it's fine.

Mine is to mild also. But when into the throttle it sounds smooth and mean. Really sounds great. I (we) can handle some noise. It is the constant drone that is not there anymore. Like all of my other performance cars over the years.
