Anyone with a custom sub box and axleback exhaust....LOOK in

Bossman · February 20th, 2007, 10:24 PM

OK, got a question.
I just installed my MAC axleback and it sounds great except for the headache causing drone.
I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the drone of they're axleback system going away with the install of a custom sub box????

Will anything help quiet the drone like Dynomat in the trunk or ?????? I gotta get rid of this horrible, trim rattling noise.................. :headscrat

PLEASE HELP!!??

you need to change your mid pipe, not sure about the h pipes but the x pipe will get you past that drone note. it'll still drone a little (1800) but you gotta love it

If an X will stop it I'm there! Even if it will calm it down a little......

Its FREAKIN Loud!!!

I don't have the aftermarket exhaust yet, just the sub box.We did use Dynomat in my car, and it is very effective at reducing vibrations, so it may be worth a shot.

resonators are needed to reduce drone.

Was thinkin about that but will they quiet the mufflers or just get rid of the drone?

MaverickMLFD371 · February 21st, 2007, 09:07 AM

should quiet down just a TINY BIT, but not a lot. Pypes Exhaust is making exhaust pipes with the resonators built into the pypes to reduce the drone on any aftermarket exhaust setup.

I'd keep an eye on it, but its a good thing for MAC, Borla and all serious drone exhaust owners.

MaverickMLFD371 · February 21st, 2007, 09:09 AM

actually the more I read on it, the more I'm thinking its an entire PYPES exhaust system, so your getting what looks like an SLP loudmouth type system........hmmm

when i first got my slp loudmouths they were loud, but with a lot of drone. it was very annoying. i added the FRPP x-pipe and the drone is now gone. the car is also quieter inside, but it is louder when behind it. i love the setup, but now am starting to want it to be a bit louder. i think if it gets louder though i'll loose my quiet ride inside.

flattusmaximus78 · January 14th, 2008, 09:19 AM

never heard of an x pipe making a car quiet unless you mean none off road maybe.

psycho bob · January 14th, 2008, 09:44 AM

didn't say it made the car quieter. it made it louder when behind, but inside the cabin it's quieter than with the stock h

06VistaGT · January 14th, 2008, 04:31 PM

a prochamber or x-pipe would probably take away a good chunk of the drone. Resonators are an option too.

i got a set of 2 10" subs and amp and a capacitor for sale. hit really hard very clean sound.

I had FRPP (Borla) Stingers. Droned like crazy. I added a Bassani Catted x-pipe. Exhaust sounded louder & more agressive, but the drone was just as bad.

Now have Bassani Street mufflers with LT headers and a catted x-pipe. They drone plenty but that muffler doesn't drone as bad as Stingers.

My point is - I highly doubt an x-pipe is going to eliminate drone. Someone else here said that it did, but I believe that to be particular to their setup. I know for a fact an x-pipe will not eliminate or reduce drone from Stingers or Bassani Street mufflers.

I did the custom subwoofer box thing to. Its got nothing at all to do with subwoofer sound.

Regarding Pypes mid-muffler system - I've read reports of people using them as resonators and that they reduced drone. I'd have to see it to believe it (you can also read that Stingers don't drone much - hogwash). The Pypes thing may work, but I'd just want to see it before I tried it.
