SW + Retro Catback

Can anyone out there with this setup tell me if it drones? And if so how bad? It's between this and the Solo Mach XL w/ J-pipes but I think I like the sound of the retro just a tad bit more. I'm stuck...

I have ARH headers with this setup. At cruising speed its not bad at all. There is one spot at around 76ish in 6th where I get a little bit of drone but I just either downshift or speed up/slow down out of it. I am also not running cats, not sure if that would make a difference but I'm sure it does.

I love my setup, not bad when crusing, loud as hell when you get on it.

Stainless Works does a good engineering job on their systems.

I know thats a subjective matter, but nothing that even remotely bothered me. I think Stainless Works deserves more credit in the "No drone" discussions.
