With this formula I was able to target this RPM range and the frequency in Hz of the drone sound at 200 degrees exhaust temp. I had a J pipe or branch resonator made to this specific length and welded into the exhaust before the muffler.
WOW could not believe the difference, it starts at about 2000 RPM,s at 2500 RPM,s you can hardly hear the exhaust at all totally dead, around 2900 RPM,s the drone is gone and you can really hear the exhaust, sounds really good. What it does is bounce a 1/4 wave back into the exhaust at that RPM and cancels that specific frequency really works well !!!!!
PM me if you want the details of the formula and my specific build.
Yellowhammer, I'd love the formula! Adding a side branch resonator until I have enough money saved up for the needswings downpipes lol
