I always liked the "flowmaster" sound. Over the past year or two i have noticed that the WHUUUUUUU (drone) was hurting my ears. Friday night, enough is enough. I just cant take it anymore. Whether its my ears hurting and/or me getting a little older - i dont care. THOSE damn things have gotta go!
Oh, those dynomax dont drone or have very little drone. Right mike?
Thanks mike!
The drone zone seems to run at 1700-2200 RPM. With 3.73's, & stock diameter tires, at 70 MPH, that puts you at 2328 RPM, which is pretty much out of the drone zone.srothfuss said:I'm telling you... I spent 1 hour each way to and from college between 1998 - 2002. I drove the 93 every day at 70 to 75MPH for the majority of the trip and there was zero drone in the cockpit. I would like to mention that the 93 was stock (completely) just for clarification. You will be able to hold conversations in the car for sure. They are noticably quiter than Flow's
You ears won't be dissapointed

One of the ideas that has bee kicked around is offsetting the muffler on one side by 3"-4". The resulting phase shift would reduce the resonance by the out of phase sound cancelling out the sound of the other muffler. So far it's only a theory, since no one has tried it.
Steeda clains their sleeper muffler doesn't drone at the 1700-2200 RPM range, but does at 3500 and up. I got this from one of their tech guys who said that they worked with Walker Manufacturing Co, the maker of the DynoMax mufflers. The drawback is the muffler only comes in stainless steel and is expensive, $140 a piece for a 2 1/2" size common to modified Mustang exhaust systems.
The do you have room question is a good one. What I know to be true is that the stock hanger setup would not work and you would need to devise some clever means to support the muffler & tailpipe.Camman said:I would be willing to try out the muffler offset, but where do you have room to move the thing 3-4"? I just picked up another stang with flows... i cant stand them, like my mac alot better.
I have also read that using 2 different mufflers considerably reduces drone... not sure if that is true or not(I think I read it on a forum).
Yes - I have an annoying buzz at idle or just above. Push on the tailpipe and it goes away. It's not anything hitting or rubbing, I have checked. I think that one or more of the baffles inside the muffler has come loose and is moving around. Either that, or the muffler heat shield has lost one of the spot welds and is vibrating.tylerrocks said:Dose anyone notice a metalic resonating sound with flows? Not anything like a drone, I like that sound. I'm talking an out-of-the-ordinary metalic vibration sound. Its really annoying and occurs just above idle, sound like crap.

I wouldn't buy any MAC products. They have very poor quality. Thats just me.DemonGT said:get some Mac mufflers and be done with it
