drone with my magnaflow?
drone with my magnaflow? i have had my magnaflow catback on my 02 z since april now, and the last 2 months i had noticed a little drone around 1500 rpm when it is held there. but when i hit 2000 rpm it sounds amazing but not loud. and i heard a banging from my cat back, and adjusted the over axle pipes so they wouldnt hit any more but noticed they had been banging and there a pretty decent sized dent in the other axle pipe that connects to the muffler , could this becausing the drone or can it be just the stock y merge? ill take a pic of the dent in the pipe when i get done work today.
also i was wondering how much louder will my car be with longtubes and catted y with a good merge (ARH). not really concerned about driving level of sound. more of start up and idle because i leave my gf's house pretty late some times and dont want to **** of her parents and wake them up.

I'd say the drone is more from the y-pipe merge than the magnaflow itself. They seem to do pretty well on cleanness of sound.
With longtubes/ypipe it'll be noticably louder but it's not to bad because the magnaflow helps mellow it down. I was running that setup plus cam/intake before I sold the car and even then it wasn't to bad.

im surprised how many people say there magnaflow is raspy or has drone. im cammed, longtubes and no cats and i have none of those. its a very good sounding system.. DRONE + RASP = LOUDMOUTH.
That's no kidding. I bought mine with a loudmouth, stock manifold and no cats and it sounds like complete crap. I'm waiting for winter to roll around to install my ARH, catted y and magnaflow CB.

If any of your exhaust pipes were resting on the body or axle that can cause a noise to resonate thru the car and sound like a drone. Fix the issues with the exhaust and then recheck for the droning noise.
u know ur response makes the most sense ill have to dome adjustments this weekend,also it sounds like there is a small exhaust leek coming from the over axle pipe , could this be another cause?
