I want an Axel back w/ minimum drone at highway speeds
I am thinking about getting an axelback for my 12 2lt rs. not a fan of raspy exhaust, prefer a lower tone. But i keep hearing about the drone. Comming from a 2002 silverado w/ a flowmaster, I know how anoying it can be. Does anyone a have a video crusing at highway speed w/ the drone 65-75?

I had a MRT v2 and found it too droney for the amount of highway miles I run.
I've heard the Borla is has much less drone but have no 1st hand experience with it. |

I have it paired with a BBK intake. it doesn't "fart" on the downward rev either like the mrt or the corsas do. pure low tone. somewhere here I have vid and sound... GMPP is made by Borla tuned for the Camaro. I love it. not a fan of MRT just doesn't sit right putting that on a Camaro...and I have owned mustang tech..... ps....GMPP= general motors performance parts. I think.... |

I just installed MRT V2 a couple of weeks ago. The drone isn't really that noticeable. But then again I have owned a number of Camaros with headers and side pipes. As well as a couple of Vettes with headers and side pipes. Maybe those cars affected my hearing, but really? If its to loud you are to old. I love the way mine sound, if I ever get tired of the noise ill just turn up the stereo. A?????

I am familiar with Flowmaster, I put one on my 300. Although the sound is awesome, it does drone, not to mention it doesn't flow as well as other mufflers.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307540 Just be advised, it is very quiet until you really get on it. I would venture to say it is one of the quietest one's available. install was easy, and parts are high quality. LMK if you have any questions.

OP, as you have read there are several quality options that will get you a properly tuned axle back. I trust you won't let reasoning like above influence you to purchase a product you won't be happy with. |

I got the MRT v1 for the loud start up and idle. I had warning of the highway drone so I installed the j-pipes before installing. That was only an added 65$ and added about 2 hrs to install because we went by pictures and had to fit and adjust. But, I have 0 drone at 65-75. But in Az, where the limit is a little higher, I began to hear that drone. But as said earlier, a stereo 'fixes' that for some of us.

I am sure OP can make an educated decision without you holding his hand. There are all kinds of sound clips on here and YouTube that will help in the decision making process. Simply stated I have the MRT V2. Apex was awesome as well as MRT support. |

I put Dynomax V/T's on my 1LT and love them. The V/T means valve-tuned:
Check out their website and watch their demos and see for yourself. A really solid buy and totally easy to install yourself if you want. http://www.dynomax.com/mufflers.php http://www.dynomax.com/application_i...l-engine-38493 |
