Thanks! I kinda like that buzz/hum sound.

After over an hour on the highway in my car...I get a headache. I love how it sounds, but it's too much. I need to quite it down some.

I'm on the same boat, it's brutal! I've been looking for a solution, I found some forums where they modded j pipes to fit. I am getting the mod done this week or next week. I can't stand it anymore. 1600-2000rpm, 70ish mph, 6th gear for an hour=headache. I'm working with my speed shop for some custom helmholtz resonators.

I thought the drone with LT's and Full catted exhaust wasn't that bad on my LS3. Until I drove 11 Hours from KY to VA and back again. After that, I called up Solo to get some J pipes and get rid of it.

I enjoy drone in an exhaust. Not sure why people don't like it, to each his own I suppose

Had drone with the outlaws but I have always had sensative ears to that sort of thing.J pipes got rid of it. To all who dont know drone dont confuse it with the exhaust note from out back, this is a loud hum inside the car coming from the backseat trunk area. If thats what you hear its drone

There's a difference between a nice exhaust note during cruising speeds, and a loud obnoxious noise.

Aftermarket exhausts have their advantages in some surprising ways.

CF's early Valentine's Day gift to all the gents here:

I read somewhere that a man's brain processes the female voice in the same area that it registers as "music." So this is how a male can be listening to you but not listening to you.

Tell your lady it's SCIENCE.
