Thanks for the response BC, that is very helpful! I've watched some of the videos of the FI CBE and it sounds amazing. I was just concerned about the level of drone because it is a daily driver, during the summer anyways. I wonder if any other Roadster owners have installed FI CBE... because I know the cabin resonance is different between coupe and roadster. I've driven both and the roadster is actually quieter inside than the coupe due to the interior shape and cloth top. It doesn't have as much booming as the coupe in stock form.

Just out of curiosity, the slight drone you mentioned around 60 mph, it is better or worse with your windows down? Does it disappear with windows down due to wind and road noise? Thanks!

Honestly - I haven't really payed attention to the difference with windows down/up. I really don't spend much time in 6th at that speed anyway - I'm either downshifting into 5th if I'm slowing up or accelerating to around 70-75 to cruise.

I'll play with the window up/down thing when I'm on my way home from work tonight and report back on how it sounds.

So I did a little cruising yesterday at 60 in 6th - windows up and windows down and it was pretty much the same with both. It seemed the exhaust got a little louder with the windows down, but that was cancelled out by the wind/road noise.
