Default Custom Axle Back? Drone?

I just did a custom axle back this weekend on my 07 c6 6mt, and I have drone around 2k rpm. If I would get headers and a xpipe would it tone it down more, or make the drone louder? WHat if I remove the cats? Thanks

Kenneth

Drone at 2K shouldnt be a problem...at cruise you would never be in that RPM unless you're going ~85 probably.

My borla axleback drones a bit at 1700.

My Zoomers droned at 1600-1700. Xpipe likely not to help with drone. Headers, from what I have read on other posts, will likely increase drone. Resonators in the X-pipe might reduce it somewhat. Some have had scccess adding sound deadening material. Drone is the price we pay with cat backs (except with Corsas).
