Exhaust Drone

[Izover4u]

Hey Guys,
I just picked up a white mamba with mopar exhaust... If I install the cones does it really cutt down on the drone? or should I just switch over to the Corsa?

Thanks

Cones cut volume a bit, a very little bit. They don't cut drone.

You don't mention the balance of your exhaust system. The Corsa Track System does not drone when installed with the stock headers and cats.

I have a pair of Vortex Cones that will fit a 3" exhaust. They are used so I would sell them for 1/2 price if you are interested in trying them out. Retail is $70 a piece from Dynatech Vortex Insert Cones: DTC-72-32520 - summitracing.com

Thanks for the reply

The previous owner told me that the mopar exhaust is a true dual exhuast that is using the stock cats and headers... Does this sound right? or did I miss understand him?

thanks again

I'll let you know... I may just end up selling my mopar exhaust and pick up some corsas over the winter...

corsa track will not drone ever...even with headers and no cats it will not drone, it will be super loud but it wont drone.

I had significant drone with my SRT/Paxton/Corsa track.

Installing the cones cut about 90% of the drone and made me completely satisfied with the system.

At cruise with the top down, and sometimes even with the top up and windows down it had a drone at certain RPMs that was fatiguing. Cones tempered it significantly.

..no drone. loud yes. I think some of you guys confuse loud with drone.

I concur

Drone is usually 5-6th gear and low rpms.

I have drone with the corsa system stock cats and stock manifolds. But like stated before it happens in 5th-6th gear at very low rpm's. I drove 750 miles to georgia with the top up, every time i stopped to get gas you would have thought I was sitting in a rock concert for 3 hours, almost deafing. On the way home with the top off it was 110% better almost no drone

I love the drone.. It's music to my ears

My experience was as ILLSMOQ and MikeR's. No drone with the Corsa Track either N/A or with the Paxton. It got really loud with the headers and h/f cats installed, but did not drone.

I took the Corsa off due to the excessive noise after the header install and replaced it with the full B & B 3-inch system. No drone, relatively quiet.

I tried the Vortex cones in mutiple locations and they did cut the volume a bit but not enough to keep my ears from ringing.
Good luck with your car.
