I got the Magnaflow muffler that comes with the 15666 Cat Back kit. I love the way it sounds, but it drones like crazy in the cab. I put down sound deadener in the floor and that helped a little, but it's still loud.

Magnaflow customer service said "all performance mufflers drone", and it was normal.

I won't change it out just because of that though. It really sounds sweet when accelerating, and WOT is freaking awesome.

I just bought this cat back system (Magnaflow 15666). Have not received it yet, but I'm having second thoughts about it now. I've read conflicting reports. Some say it drones like mad, some say there's no drone whatsoever. What gives? I figured I'd save some money by not buying the Corsa, but if it drones I'll end up with the Corsa anyway.

Corsa is the way to.... u get what u pay for... magnaflow, flowmaster, and other equal brands, drone so much it will actually drive me crazy... Corsa has No DRONE! Im saving some cash for a corsa catback.... prob. next month or so....
a note from the Corsa co.
No Drone - This is what sets us apart from other exhaust manufacturers: RSC™ technology eliminates "problem" frequencies that cause interior drone/resonance at cruising speeds. You can add CORSA and enjoy your car at idle, on acceleration and while cruising down the road.

So that and all the positive reviews won me over....
good luck with those mags.

That's what I wanted when I was looking for a muffler. I took my time and did a lot of searching, and I found the perfect deal (IMO). I got a brand new Thrush - Welded muffler for $42, and it souds great! Perfect throaty sound at low RPMs, but quiet when at steady speeds - NO DRONE! The quality is great, the sound is great, the price is Awesome!

If I had the cash handy, I'd definitely get the Corsa system. I like the way it sounds, deep on acceleration but almost nonexistent at speed.

gonna go see my exhaust guy tomorow and get his opinion too

He's going to reccomend what he sells probably.

Exhaust Drone

I just bought this cat back system (Magnaflow 15666). Have not received it yet, but I'm having second thoughts about it now. I've read conflicting reports. Some say it drones like mad, some say there's no drone whatsoever. What gives? I figured I'd save some money by not buying the Corsa, but if it drones I'll end up with the Corsa anyway.

Boomer, it drones. Trust me. I even talked to the Customer Support guy in California and he didn't say "hmmmm, I've never heard of that" or "maybe it's a faulty muffler". He said "All performance mufflers drone. Some more than others. It's the down side to a high flow exhaust."

The 15666 is loud as hell at 75mph in my truck. It sounds like someone's sitting behind me humming. Now, I have an AWD (no overdrive) so it always sounds like it needs to upshift when I'm driving on the highway.
