Exhaust drone at highway speeds. Need recommendations. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Texamaro · 10-20-2020, 05:45 PM

Hi everyone I am needing some recommendations to help eliminate drone that seems especially bad around 65-75mph on the highway holding a consistant speed.
I have longtube stainless headers, that go to dynomax race bullet mufflers and then onto magnaflow system with dual center exhaust.
I had cat deletes and replaced them with the race bullets due to the car just being extremely loud. Now the tone is good and I love how it sounds it just drones on the highway.
I saw mention of a j-pipe or adding in an x-pipe possibly?. Any thoughts?. Below is a pic of magnaflow system (I've since added bullets and changed transmission pan before anyone gripes about the dents lol).

J-Pipe will fix it right up

You answered your own question. J pipes it is.

Texamaro · 10-20-2020, 10:40 PM

Solo J-Pipes. Ask for Steve. Super customer service! Night and day difference with them.

SSJ2 · 10-21-2020, 03:48 PM

J pipes fixed it for me as well

Texamaro · 10-21-2020, 04:31 PM

Perfect I'll give them a call. Thanks again guys! My ears need some relief lol

LCPLPunk · 10-21-2020, 05:18 PM

Hmm, how much do the J-pipes weigh compared to stock mufflers?

Texamaro · 10-21-2020, 06:17 PM

Talked to Steve and he said we had the option to replace whole system (behind cat area) with a solo system with jpipes or to order and install just jpipes and add them to my existing system. Before I bite the bullet on either what are yall doing? Adding jpipes or whole systems?
I'd prefer to add them as I have dual center and would like to keep it but I'm open minded at this point in time

I was wondering the same thing. Now I understand even more why the stock suitcases are the way they are. Putting the J pipe set up probably makes it heavier than stock. I was told the LS has a natural tendency to drone, in fact I can hear it a bit with the stock system right around 65-75 mph. I’m sure GM put a lot of effort and money trying to tune it out for the sake of most buyers.

If your replacing the catback gofull 3inch Corsa Xtreme no drone.

SSJ2 · 10-21-2020, 10:52 PM

In my case I didn't feel it was necessary to buy another system I just needed to get rid of the tremendous drone. I actually found a great exhaust shop that custom made them and installed them for me. I showed them pics of what I wanted and the lengths I thought they should be and they came out better than I had hoped.I was prepared to buy them from Steve if the shop didn't feel like they could properly make them though.
