It is nice and quiet at idle and cruise. You can hear a bit of a lope in it. When you hit the loud pedal it comes to life though!!

Do you get a drone at cruise speed with it being a straight through muffler?

It is very minimal. I was expecting it to be a lot worse than what it is.

I would not change them though. I really like the sound the Magnaflows provide. I will probably go to a different size on the next build though.

Maybe because the mufflers are so far back instead of under the back seat like most cars.

I bought the kit from S&W racecars. It was just a weld in kit.

2.5"from the headers back through an x-pipe and 2.5" out to the mufflers. No cats.
