Aftermarket Exhaust
Hello, I have a non valved aftermarket touring exhaust by paragon. I love the sound however after several months of driving I cannot get over the drone at certain RPMs So my question is those with valved aftermarket exhaust systems are you experiencing any drone?! PLEASE BE HONEST. Thx!

I have Paragons Track exhaust and to me because this is an opinionated subject there is no bad drone. Love to hear the exhaust and yes it can be drone if you leave it higher in the RPM range above the 2k mark. So not sure if you are talking about normal city driving and the drone at certain RPM's or Highway driving or in Overdrive a drone.
For me I associate "drone" as when cruising along in OD.

Yes sir same here but for me the whole idea changing the exhaust as originally planned was to have the noise. So maybe I enjoy it and wanted it so therefor really doesn't bother or worry about any kind of drone. I also dont drive it all the time.
