Without 18" resonators you might have more drone at certain RPMs. But it wouldn't be that much of a difference I think.

Hi, I got the 18" SS FI,
I find the drone at high way cruising speed just tolerable.

I shouldn't even consider the RHFC/ berk HFC right? either of those would increase drone?

Thanks,
Alan

I have FI RHFCs with 18" RCBE. Adding the cats does increase it.
