The frequency of the sound waves that cause drone can differ with different exhaust piping, and there is likely a range for a few hundred RPM where the drone occurs, so by having adjustable j-pipes (like from Solo) you can "tune" them to what you need for your particular setup. If you can't get adjustable ones, you'll likely need about 36" long j-pipes for this car. I have my j-pipes as long as possible (about 1/16" from contacting something in either direction) and there is still a bit of drone, but it's reduced by about 90% or so I'd say.
much appreciated ! i've already contacted one of the local exhaust manufacturer to make 2 j-pipes , hope they'll work . i'll come back with good news.
