Exhaust Drone

[Mavrick]

I am going to be buying some loud mufflers in the next couple months, and im wondering about the drone. I'm sure i won't mind it, as im still a kid and i like that LOUDness, but im afraid ill get sick of it.

I heard that using two different sized mufflers gets rid of a lot of the drone you get with aftermarket mufflers that are identical to one another, is this true? How so?

How is drone caused anyways? Do you guys with tailpipes get much drone?

Ive got an off road h pipe, an 2 chamber flowmasters. Its loud, but the drone is only really irritating between 2 - 3,000 RPM's. Other than that its loud but not too irritating.

That's why you get a loud stereo.

Thats where they will be the loudest the 2000 rpm drown!

That explains it mavrick youre STILL A KID...nothing but a brat...I bet youre still on diapers and wish you had your license..two words for you lil brat..."get out"

I used to run a Mac Prochamber with my flowmasters, and there was a bit of drone. It never really bothered me, because I too am a kid (18) and I love loud muscle cars. Now that I have my bassani x pipe, it seemed to eliminate almost all of the drone that I experienced with the prochamber.

 

[speedo]

with any aftermarked exhaust you will have drone...thats the whole purpose of the muffler...you want power you get drone...the best antidrone muffer i have know is the dynomax...the best performance muffler without too much noise is the magnaflow. They sound so sweet

Sorry, fed up with this crap...

:OT:

I am shure you are still a "kid" because no adult would type the trash you type.
If you are an adult, or should I say, over drinking age, your a punk.
Remember speedon't,
He might be a kid, but as the years go by,
he will grow up, but you will always be an idiot.

You should "get out", your being the brat. Sorry, I hate trolls.

BACK ON TOPIC:

It seems that shortie headers make for more drone. I have an H pipe with 2 chamber Flowmasters dumped, you would think that mine would give you a drone that could give you a head ache from 3 car lengths away, but it hardly drones at all. I have Longtubes and a cam, that helps.

Almost any muffler you get you will still get some drone, especailly with a stock cam. What I call drone is the constant hum, mine doesn't do this, it is choppy sounding below 3000rpm to drone.

 

[Mavrick]

Thanks for the replies guy's. I am starting to think the drone won't bother me enough to care, ill just have to keep it abovee 2500RPM

speedo.. i'm not a bratt, i respect people who deserve respect, and i'm not spoilt either.. i've paid for nearly all of my car myself. You are a tool, hopefully a mod will read a few of your posts and ban you sometime soon.

 

[DirtyD916]

speedo go away!!!!!!! no one likes you and no one will.



anyways drone is prone at 2000-3000 and i think it sjust something that you hafve to live with.

 

[Mavrick]

DirtyD916: Thats pretty much what i've been thinking, im sure if all you stangers can put up with it, ill be fine! I'll have to wait and see.

I have shorties, a pro chamber, and flows out to 3" tailpipes (lx style) and I get a drone. With a stock h it was around 2k, with the PC it moved up to 25k. I personally love the drone, it reminds me I am driving one of the baddest cars ever made. I also have alot of sound deadening equipment in my car, more than stock it seems, so it doesn't come through loud.

And dildo, uh, I mean speedo, just a few things:
1)I am 19
2)My car can kill yours
3)I can kill you
4)I'd rather be a "young brat" than a b*tch.

i'm running big long tubes, a prochamberm and flowmaster 40's the drone on the highway is so bad right now that i ended up with a headache after driving back from the track. granted, it sounds pretty sick, but its so loud its kind of unsettling around cops.

take your time making the decision and listen to a lot of sound clips. check out www.mustangexhaust.com if you haven't yet.

ddrroonnee!!!

I have Spintech Pro Street mufflers and a 2 1/4 off road H and i recently did about a 200 mile trip on interstate and highways and i found the drone on my car is around 1800-2000 rpm but other than that say at 2150 or 2200 it has none so due to this i made good time due to my speeding. Spintech mufflers sound SICK but they are LOUD. I have been getting hassled by this state cop in my town about my exhaust but he pulled me over the other night and we started talking cars and stuff and he just told me to keep my foot out of it and he wont bother me (i hope to god). Overall they sound good drone little and are very loud. And like Steeda93 said get a loud stereo thats what i use when im running 70 down the blacktop.

 

[Mavrick]

I can't afford a stereo guy's, my budget is super tight, and my car isn't even certified yet!! But ill have a stereo in another 8 or 10 months.

I am really liking the spintechs.. any idea where i could get them around Toronto?

 

[Mavrick]

I've listened to tons of clips, but sound clips don't seem to do it for me, it';s like i need the visual aspect as well.. Video's arn't too bad. I wish i could have 20 stangs with different mufflers lined up so i could hear them in person...

 

[Ned]

don't worry too much about not having a stereo..the way I see it, the exhaust IS the stereo

 

[mustangdaren]

I have the cure for all flowmaster drone problems. Ride in my car for 10 minutes and you will not notice the drone on flowmasters anymore, lol. I had the 40 series 2 chambers before and now have dynomax race bullets, the flowmasters are quiet in comparison. It is so loud at 2k rpm you can't hear the person next to you talking and a radio is worthless. I have a 500 watt system in the car and it's not enough to completely drown it out. I guess that is why I have MAC Pro dumps on the way. I was letting some friends hear it the other day and reved it up in the driveway, their only comment was your neighbors have got to love you, lol.

 

[Mavrick]

mustangdaren: I think you've steered me away from the bullits... but you have full 3" exhaust right? Mine is completely stock. I'd like to buy some spintechs, if they were sold near Toronto somewhere.

The drone will get irritating if you're anything like me and I'm sure the new engine will only make it worse. My setup is in my sig and I've had it for two years, but I've been sick of the drone for half of that. I'm only 21 so its not an age thing. I got a cheap Summit glasspack that I'm going to weld in front of one of the mufflers. I got the idea from the stock muffers, one being larger than the other. That way you get a broader range of sound frequencies without an overabundance of the low frequency waves that you hear as an eardrum shaking drone.
