No drone with Borla?

This Borla video claims they design their exhausts to have no drone at any RPM. Can anyone with a Borla confirm this?

Definitely not annoying for me. I hear that the drone is mainly on the 3" exhaust. I got the 2.5" here and no regrets.

The GMPP/ Borla made "Dealer upgraded"exhaust does drone a bit at 70 mph.

The stock exhaust has "no drone at any RPM"... if that's what you're really looking for.

Touché - but I want an exhaust louder than stock

With stock, I sometimes can't even tell if the engine is running at idle, and I have an intake installed

I agree. These Camaros should have never left the plant without performance exhaust. This 6.2L sounds like a Hybrid.

I have yet to hear any Borla system that doesn't drone... some like it some hate it.

I do like the sound of Borla, but it definitely does drone FWIW...
