strange your car drones with that straight thru style of muffler...they are usually pretty much drone free.
I have a lift, so I'm good there. So much for a bolt on system if you had to cut the pipes???In the pictures I've seen of the Pypes installed, it looks like the tailpipes hang down a bit under the body. My current tailpipes are 1" below the body. Are your more than that?
The larger pipes tend to accentuate the drone. I run 2.5" on one car with Hooker Max flows or whatever they are called. The other one has 2.75" pipes and 2.5" Ultraflos. Neither one drones.The three inch systems, or larger, that I have seen all have that hollow sound that I don't like.In general, the chambered mufflers like Flow Masters are restrictive compared to the good straight thru units and generally start costing hp past about 500 hp.
I'm part Scottish I cobbled together my own 3 inch single with a Dynomax Ultra Flow.Love the way it sounds at Idle and WOT there is a bit of a drone at 2000-2200 but most of the time it sounds pretty good to me.I'm kind of blind and partially deaf from age but I'm still a kid at heart especially when I drive the Buick!
