Default Exhaust Drone

In January, I had a custom exhaust of my own design fabricated. It's the only picture in my gallery if you're interested

I've been pleased with the entire system; it was cost effective and produces a great tone.

The problem................at 2000-2500 RPMs, the drone rattles the glass and diminishes my already challenged hearing.

I've read a lot of threads about this problem, but there's no consensus as to which muffler will eliminate the drone and yet still produce a sound which is aggressive.

I'm interested in hearing from individuals who've had the problem and know the best possible way to addresss it.

Don

Add a resonator(s) inline to the muffler.

i've heard of people just using dynomat or simular in the rear hatch area to clean alot of it up. also, isn't there a muffler that has 2 passages and one opens up under hard throttle like a straight pipe? something like that would keep you in check during crusing speeds.
