drone for daily driver?

horty24 · 05-21-2014, 08:36 PM

Hi guys, you all with these exhaust please give me your feedback. I want one of these, which has least amount of drone if any at all.
Invidia gemeni. CNT, agency power. Also the ones with most drone. ... How bad is the drone for a daily driver.

The Invidia Gemini is probably the most DD friendly of all of those. It's pretty civil inside the cabin from what I have experienced.

That's what I thought the answer would be. How much more drone would the CNT have?

CNT with stock cats? almost 0 drone from what I remember. with HFC, there is narrow band around 3k that it starts droning a bit. only on highway though

Yeah it would be with stock cats.
I hear that AP exhaust is pretty loud and has drone. I'm trying to stay away from drone and louder than stock but not very loud either. So if stock is a 1-2 sound and very loud is 10, I would like to be 4-6 range.

man I would love to have a drone fly me to work every day the traffic here sucks.

Do u drive an auto or manual? I have F.I. Exhaust with 18" res and HFCs, there is definitely drone around 2,200 -3,000 rpm, but since I'm a manual I just stay out of that range and it's very livable as my dd. but I bought this exhaust from someone who had an auto, and autos like being in that drone range, so it's not good for a dd in that case.

The new AAM axleback/catback combo in my thread on the 1st page has as little drone as you could hope for.

Why don't you just pick one of those exhausts you like the most and then just Sound proof your car? Its cheap to get and you get the exhaust you love the most and Zero Drone?

zefaulter · 05-23-2014, 09:53 PM

I'd get CNT all over again. I was a little disappointed that it was not loud but after adding hfc I'm happy

Don't really feel like adding all that weight and then you must do the entire car not just the hatch. I'll skip that idea but thanks for the option.

Is going to be between CNT and Invidia. AP just too loud from what I've found.

^^ I have this and it was good with CBE only. I added headers and HFCs and it is still fine inside the cabin (car not log); albeit car alarms at the metro now have a different impression of me and the Z.

Just slip a dollar in the slot above the window and you can have 2 minutes of sweet soulful exhaust all to yourself.

Yes, you really should come to Fairfax one day. You'd never guess how many adult males still live in their mother's basements.
