Put 4.10s in it. You'll never cruise at 2,000 rpms in any gear.

I have a Prochamber mid with stock muffs. Not too loud but a nice sound.

Crusing around 2 grand puts you in the "drone zone" so it does help when you have a lower gear.

I love the drone. Sometimes i drive right at 2000RPM justy to hear it...and even then it's not loud enough

The new Delta-flow flowmasters are a lot quieter than the old style. I notice with my windows up and the radio at normal volume i can barely hear my exhaust. I found myself, during the winter, lowering the radio and cracking a window just to hear my car.

Meanwhile my friends in the car behind me are complaining about how loud my car is

NOT loud + LITTLE drone + SMOOTH sound = Magnaflow weld-ins. Plus, they're real purty in polished SS!

I have the Flowmaster 1 chambers and to tell you the truth they're really not that loud, a friend told me that they're kind of Jeckyl and Hyde..mild noise until you romp on it. The "drone" is there at around 1700-2000 RPM's but I guess if you like a quieter resonance then you can't go wrong with Delta Flow mufflers either.

i've got the off-road prochamber with some welded in 2-chamber flowmasters (40 series) and i love the sound.. i usually cruise around in low rpm's just to save gas, but on the weekends i cruise around at about 2000 rpm just so i can hear it and so others can hear me.. i love the sound

Get some Magnaflows or something. I LOVED the drone i had in my car, cruised at around 2k rpms just to surround myself in the sound.

I got sick of the flowmaster drone too. Switched to Borla, and still had a little drone. After putting in 4.10s, no more drone!

if you dont like the drone, a nice subwoofer would be about the same price as a new set of mufflers. personally I like the drone, but I have to drive at 35mph in 5th gear in order to hear it now with the 4.10's

I've been told my car doesn't drone, but I guess that's what the Steeda cat-back is suppose to be doing, LTs make cars more quiet.. so they say
