AWE exhaust with downpipes - does it drone?

[chrissurfr]

For those of you who went from AWE exhaust without downpipes to AWE with downpipes – what are your thoughts? Too loud? Does it drone like crazy? I have the system without downpipes right now but I really wouldn’t mind it being a little louder....

i did the dp & exhaust at the same time and the first time i drove it was loud. It does quiet down. To be honest i miss how it sounded for the first few hundred miles. As far as drone i havent experienced any.

It doesn't drone too much more then just the exhaust itself, it just sounds louder and meaner.

Its loud when you go hard on the gas and kinda drones a little around 2200 rpm. I believe if you have a tip it will drone even more

I had a stasis exhaust and it droned like crazy, I changed it to a milltek non-res with AWE downpipes and its much quitter inside the cabin than the stasis, I love my new setup

Like Kevin said- I totally agree - I miss the break in period sound level, this is a V8, it should sound like one, and the stock system is just waaaay to quite. It sealed up in about 1 month or a little less and is only really 'loud' if you get on it hard. The car on the highway can drone a little above 3K but I notice it more when the system is cold in the morning then in the afternoon, makes it a little hard to use the phone in bluetooth mode as even my callers can hear it, but its well worth living with to generate the most from the car/exhaust set up- I would not go backwards for any other set up. It is very different at different levels and so well tuned to the pedel that at cruise control @ say 65 to 75 its hardly noticeble to me on my drive home, i have to downshift or get into a tunnel to really make it get noticed.
