Muffler delete...

Had this done a few days ago, finally got a chance to take the car on the highway and open it up a bit today. Love the sound....except in stop and go. It does drone a bit.

For anyone that's looking at getting a muffler delete done or any kind of exhaust work feel free to PM me. I got mine done at a reputable shop here in the Downey area.

At what point in the video do you hear the drone? I am looking to do the delete but concerned as you mention it being so bad. I couldn't find the drone in the video.

I didn't get that either.....yes it does drone when driving though. I don't DD it so I deal with it. During the week I drive a silent 6 cyl Jeep. I need to post an updated video now that I added the intake + JB4.

I mean if its not that bad then i will do it. I do daily drive mine but i think it would be a summer setup and i would put the stock muffler back on for the winter.

Sorry, I didn't really 'hear' the drone because its something that can only be heard from the inside I believe. However, its cause by vibration so from my past experience, I'm assuming the drone is bad. I could be wrong since drone is the most noticeable at low RPM (cruising speed).
