Maybe a little drone in track mode around 2800 RPM's. Track holds the revs longer and may get you into a bit of drone, especially with the rear window down in the HTC. No drone on the highway. I paddle shift in track or Sport mode and avoid cylinder deactivation on the highway. You can hear when it goes into 4 cylinder mode more with this exhaust. No drone on the highway. You can converse and listen to music with no issues.
The exhaust sounds amazing. Better (different/more muscular) than the 2 C8 Z06's I have heard. The cold start is ridiculous (in a good way).

thanks! Is the exhaust note similar to OEM? Meaning - I like the way the car sounds with the stock NPP exhaust, just wanting to make it louder. Or does this change the sound a lot too??
also - will my neighbors hate me cold starting it in the morning (don’t have a garage to start it in lol)

#1 rule of thumb...Before installing any parts go over your parts list and make sure you have everything before starting the installation. Sucks to see you go through this but clearly AWE made it right fast.
