TTT - Anyone else do this? Thanks

 

I did this, I placed a 3" powerstick on the i-pipe. I purchased it from classicchambered.com. And I love it, can't wait till I put my longtubes then its on. It has a deep throaty sound to it and everyone loves it.

 

alot of us have done variations of things in the past.. Basically a "bullet" muffler in the I pipe, replacing the "resonator" (which is piping that goes from 3" to 4" diameter..

I used a dynmax "bullet" muffler (forget what model), that looks similar, 3" flow through.. It more "smoothened" out the exhaust rather than quiet it down, well maybe a hair.. I sitll have some highway drone at 6th gear at about 70 mph (that 1900 rpm zone)

 

My intentions are to rid the car of the drone. How much does it cut back on it? Does it reduce the RPM range at which it occurs or just reduce the volume?

Thanks!

 

6 speed or auto? Auto would be wayyyyyy to loud with my setup. 5th and more importantly, 6th make my setup work perfect.

Volume is a bit lower. Popping is all gone. I'll post a video/sound clip very soon.

 

I love the sound of the LM at idle, WOT, and shifting through gears. With 4.10s I end up getting the drone at aprox 1800 - 2100 RPM or about 65-75 in sixth gear. Unfortunately, I usually drive in this range so I get the drone a lot. How much would you say it cuts back on the drone?

I'm looking forward to the audio/video! Can you get some clips of inside the car with the drone at its worst?

Thanks!

 

I should have some video on thursday i think. I'll post up. It did cut back on quite a bit of drone. Do you have headers? Do you have a cat(s)?

 

I bought the LM with a bullet muffler already installed for $125 and I love it. Awesome catback

 

Yup,

Also does the trick

 

Did you ever get a chance to upload the video? My exhaust is stock expect for the loudmouth. Thanks!

 

ha, totally slipped my mind. my friend has a video he took in his car of me paralleling him on the thruway then taking off. I'll get that uploaded asap.

 

ok so the video didn't turn out so good. Caught me after i took off, but here ya go....

Thanks for posting the video. I was hoping to get a sense of the drone. Would you mind recording what it sounds like in the car with the drone at it's worst?

Thanks again!

 

i will try to borrow his camera. I really don't have drone with the 6-spd. I'll get the camera from em next time i see em.

 

Assuming you have stock gears, go on the hghway in 6th, and cruise at about 70-75ish mph.. about the 1900-2100 rpm range.. Thats the spot where the drone REALLY kicks in.. Anyhting below or even above that and it disappears.

If you really don't have the drone there, then I may have to check that one out.. Becaues even with my "bullet" muffler mod, I still get that drone.
