1800-2300 RPMs is where I notice the drone. 2k seems to be the resonance frequency of this motor.

Setup: LTH's + 18" Res SS CBE

Yeah, I get significant drone between 2-3K when in high gear under load with my 18" res setup. The thing is, before I had a CBE, I heard tons of road and wind noise so really I have just traded one loud noise for another, more pleasing loud noise. The Z is not a Lexus, it makes itself known.

surprisingly with my non-res/non-res set-up the drone isnt that bad. of course there is defintely some drone at about the same RPMs that you guys are experiencing it.

and i totally agree with it being a much more pleasing sound than road noise and the Z making itself known lol

also the drone is a great way to shut the gf/wife/girl in the passenger seat up also a plus to the cabin drone to dull out their noise
