looking to purchase stuck between Mrt V2 or Solo exhaust- like the sound of the MRT but scared of the drone

you might get some more looks if you put this in the bolt on thread instead of FI
but from what ive heard the MRT 2 doesnt produce that much drone

had it just about a year and it gets louder and deeper but unfortunately there is somewhat of a loud drone with it.

The drone in The MRT V2 Is very minimal. I have it installed. It's not bad at all.

I have had mine for a month now love it very little drone!!

At 1800 there is a bit of drone but overall it is not bad. I have had a lot of cars with different exhausts and its not bad.

My hubby put it on my 1LT in April for my birthday.
I have a severe chronic headaches, so we chose very carefully,
not to get one too loud.
She does roar, but it is just right!
On my first 3-4 hour trip with it, it got a bit tiring to hear it,
but I was told to drive in a higher gear to reduce the drone/roar.
(I have the 6 spd manual)
We searched MANY youtube videos fo examples of MRT v2 exhausts on v6 Camaros.
Also, mine is axle-back. Research on youtube.

Too much drone for me. Took it off and sold it.

What RPM does the drone become noticable or annoying? I'm about to hit the buy button.. But I do alot of 70-75mph highway driving.. With the M6 that puts me around 2100-2300rpm.

really?? how old are u if u dont mind me asking. . .

well i have had mine on for a year now and i LOVE it. very minimal drone but u hear it the loudest at low gears and high RPM like u would with any exhaust.

to be honest i actually am thinking i want mine louder. a friend of mine has the MRT 2 also and he took his cats off and MAN does it sound like a beast!

also next time post in the bolt on section not in the forced induction threads.. . .

I think th solo J pipes are supposed to take the 1800 rpm drone away by canceling the harmonics but still leaving the rumble. I am waiting to hear more about it before I buy a set. I like the tone but after reading that people will be doing 4-5 hour drives I could see how a tad less harmonics could behelpful
