The TRUTH about aftermarket exhaust drone

Not to stir things up even farther (is that possible?) but you don't even have to look far to see hat I'm talking about in this thread. Right near the top of the intake/exhaust section is this thread. In it the OP is asking for a catback that has NO drone. He even emphasizes that he "hates drone with a passion".

CBE w/no or least drone?

The *very first poster to reply* proceeds to tell him that FI catbacks (in all their combinations) have "no drone" and are a perfect choice for him.

He says drone is subjective and that it's perfect for HIM, it has nothing to do with what is advertised by Tony or anyone at FI

Not really. Here is what he said:

Drone is subjective, some people say one exhaust gives it to you, another group will say another brand will give you drone.

Are you looking for just a CBE or a HFC/TP combo as well? I can tell you keeping the stock cats will remove any drone.

Fast Intentions gives you a multitude of options to look through:

Long Tube Headers
HFC's/(R)TP's
12" Resonators
18" Resonators
CF or SS Cans

All of which can be mixed and matched to produce exactly the performance/sound you want. With no drone.

If drone is so subjective why is he making claims about FI producing NONE?

You aren't getting it, HE is making the suggestion, based on what HE thinks

I like garlic, I think it tastes good in most everything, I put it in lots of things I cook, my dad would rather kill himself than eat it. It's subjective

Yes but if someone said "hey recommend me a dish with no garlic, I passionately hate garlic" you wouldn't give them your spaghetti with garlic would you?

Yeah, so I gave them my dish with chives, which is similar, but not the same

Ok, you are failing to realize something. First off, a consumer posted that. Second, he clearly feels the combinations do not drone. This is a case of subjectiveness just at the other end of the spectrum. Now as you are doing your research in the pre buying process it is your obligation as a consumer to read through what is accurate, what may be accurate and what is not accurate. If the general consensus is satisfied with their purchase however you are still not convinced, than don't buy the product. Wait until you can hear the combination you want in person before jumping in.

Thanks, Tony

If you want a exhaust that has little to no drone and hiss the Invidia Gemini is the way to go . I have had every exhaust and combo there is . FastIntentions , HKS , ARK , MagnaFlow , Invidia Gemini , Motordyne and back to FastIntentions. I think Borla is also in there as well . Cant remember... The Invidia even with my ART pipes had very little hiss or drone. The sound was to tame for my taste . Motordyne was the loudest and the others except FastIntention rasped like no other . Give it a couple of months and make your decision ...
