Inside Cabin Drone
Question or better yet your opinion,
I have TSP long tube headers, high flow cats, corsa x-pipe, and the GMPP axle back. Car sounds great but at a little under 2K RPM there is a loud drone or "humming" inside the car. Is this because of my automatic or is this because of my x-pipe or axle back? Under throttle car sounds great. It is just when cruising at a steady speed a little under 2K RPMS. AFM has been turned off.

it's the axle back, x-pipe, and headers. Just get some J-pipes (Solo sells a weld on set) and that'll take care of the drone

If you want the less hassle way, swap out the GMPP axleback for a Dynomax VT axleback and call it a day. You can then sell your axleback to recoup some of the cost.

Easy fix: Speed up!
I have TSP headers on 3" magnaflow, it drones pretty hard too.

I have the TSP with no cats and muffler deletes!! Yours cant be that bad. I forgot to mention a decent sized cam too. I'm looking around to see what I could do to put mufflers on and still keep the 5" tips on my muffler deletes. I don't want to put any cats on.

Well all i know about this issue is put the j pipes on!!! I just finished doing mine and wow what a difference!!! I made them 28 inches long and just whatever shape i could fit in the space i have and holy crap if i could find mr helmholtz chamber (j-pipe) inventor guy i would owe him a hand shake and few beverages of his choosing cause my car is more enjoyable to drive now! It is also i think quieter in the cabin than it was stock at some rpm levels!!!

It also seemed to change the cabin sound overall for the better... From idle to atleast 4-4500 which is about as fast as i have chosen to spun it so far.
