Drone usually refers to constant noise at cruising rpms. These exhausts don't have that. They have a few seconds drone when downshifting at low rpms.
Thanks for the feedback. On the drone, I guess that's where the confusion can be...since there is some drone in some range on all of these aftermarket exhausts, like 1,500 to 2,000, if you happen to be cruising in that range, you are experiencing drone IMO. That being said, this "drone" or resonance isn't necessarily a bad thing for this car. That's a little of what seems to be missing actually on the stock sound, but I guess that's where subjectivity comes in.
