RPM Question
So I have an MRT 2.0 installed and get some crazy drone when cruising on the highway from 70-75 (1900-2000RPMS).
I figured out that if I through it into S mode and leave it in 5th gear (2500RPMs) the drone goes away and the sound is much more bearable. Is there any harm in running it like that on the highway? Thanks!

A little more wear, and a little more gallons per mile. ;-p
Some people add an X-pipe, I went with J-pipes.. 0 drone from 70-80 on freeway.

Yeah, you'll just kill your highway mileage. As Kessler did, I recommend the resonated x pipe. It seems to fix it for most people.

I've got the x-pipe but no resonators
i might try to throw some stock resonators back on.
