I have an American Thunder Catback (with Super40's).

I already tried Dr. Gas X-pipe and myhead was buzzing like crazy.
I am back to the stock H.

I was thinking about the Prochamber.
It sounds Awesome, but some say the drone is bad.

Is there any off-road midpipe that offers minimal drone with flows?

get rid of the flows if you don't want drone, also try a catted pipe.

I have the Flowmaster AT catback and the prochamber and there is some drone around 2100-2300 rpm with stock 3.27's. The only time it gets a little annoying is on the highway. Your sig says you have 4.10's so you probably cruise at a different rpm. Although the drone can get too you at times, the sound of the car more than makes up for it.

There is no midpipe that wont drone with the Flowmasters, becuase its the charactoristics of the muffler that make it drone, and nothing else. Any midpipe (which flows more) will just make that drone magnify.

Put your Dr. Gas back on and enjoy the sweet symphony, and deal with the drone. I can't even hear my drone with the radio on a moderate level.

What drives me crazy is my E-brake handle that vibrates in and out like CRAZY when I reach the droning level. I mean it is insane...I have to grab it just to make it stop. I credit it to the cheap little plastic tip and the lose design. Sucks!

My Dr. Gas and AT catback has a very minimal drone between 1800-2000 rpms however there is something wrong with the passenger side tipe as it rattles like crazy when it reaches that RPM other than that the sound is just and well worth the small headache the rattle causes and the drone is so small it's barely noticable

I have a Magnaflow pipe with my flowmasters and it doesn't drone badly. It is extremely raspy though and it drives me crazy. Sounds good through first gear and when I get on it but sucks at low rpm in town.
