Anybody local to Yardley, Pa..Bucks County running a 3"Corsa with Cats?
I would love to hear a car with no drone. I am currently running the 3"
B+B and it sounds awesome at idle and WOT, but the drone could be better.
I am contemplating a swap, although, I need to hear it in person and better
yet, at cruise. Thanks Joe.

Hey Joe,

I see you got some things done to your car since I saw it last. Were you not happy with the exhaust that you got done? I'm looking to change my stock exhaust on the car I bought, but don't know what to go with. I'm probably in more of a budget mindset then you are, so I was possibly thinking just muffler delete. What do you recommend?

(B+B?) What is that?

Are you running hi flow cats (what brand) with your B&B?
What rpm band is the drone in?

Thanks

Check out the short video.

Corsa

[EDIT]

Oh, well. This stupid site auto-censored the address of the video (*******), so it can't go to the address.

Man, this place sooooo *****.

I am running stock cats. The drone is about 1600-2100 RPM range. I know
shifting in and out of gears will clean up the drone, but then you just hear
exhaust noise. I guess I am asking for the cake and eating it too, the
sound at idle is exactly what I was looking for. The sound at WOT is
awesome also, but on top of that, I would like to have quiet cruise....
70mph, at 1700RPM with no noise. Yeah, I know, stop crying...but in the
off chance a Corsa would do it, I would change.....Flame away.

Corsa 3" and HF-Cats = NO MORE DRONE!

Come over and hear it in person - afterwards we may have a beer or two or three... :D

Sean Roe has the B&B on his car with his brand of hi flow cats (not RT) and says there is NO drone. There was a guy that had a post a month or so ago that had the B&B with RT hiflow cats and he HAD drone. Go figure!

If that's what it takes to remove the drone, I'll call Sean. If by no drone,
he means it's so loud with the HF cats you can't hear anything but the
engine and exhaust, that's another animal. Khrist almighty, can't anything
be simple.

Let me know how you come out on this as I was going with the B&B and Seans hiflow cats (vs Random Tech) for the great B&B sound, cool sills, and no or very little drone.
Drone on an RT is just a 'wintertime problem" LOL!!

I've got high-flows and a corsa on my 1200HP DLM RT, and there's no drone at all. The loudest sound at cruise is the air hissing out of the ATI bypass under the hood.

Joe, I have the 3"corsa and no drone. I have also updated the cats with Sean's HF for the heat reduction, much cooler and much better sounding than stock. I'm a little east of Harrisburg if you ever venture up this way. :cool:
