About exhaust drone ...
Hello guys,
I replaced stock reso with 2 straight pipes and stock mufflers with 2 straight-style custom mufflers.
And I finally got aggressive growl ... that's what I wanted ... but annoying exhaust drone too ... at 1.5k ~ 2.0k RPM ...
How can I remove exhaust drone without reducing sound? ...
Will x-pipe help?

Isn't droning typically part of the tradeoff for having straight pipes & the really gnarly aggressive growl? Of all my cars I've had w/straight pipes, they droned on the freeway. The drone comes along with the growl. I'd love to hear how to solve it though.

Whatever we're tuning!
You need to change the frequency/velocity of the exhaust gases which will get rid of that annoying drone.
Try this:
Drop the car down one gear so it is revving a little higher and the drone should disappear like magic and the car will be more ready than ever to ROMP!!!
