Legato axle back! Horrible drone

I recently installed the legato axle back on my 2017 1ss A8, using clamps (not welded) but it got a horrible drone between 1500 and 2000 rpm, I tried to reduce it by putting stuff in the trunk to reduce the vibration but it's didn't work. Can someone please tell me how to eliminate this horrible drone or at least reduce 90% of it... I'm considering installing back the stock huge one but at least it lets you drive nicely and listen to music!

Did you buy directly from them? They have a 100 day risk-free return policy. I'd send it back if the drone is too much. It's not worth spending more money to hack it up or install additional resonators. Get your money back, save a little more, and get something else. Next step up is probably MBRP. Buddy of mine locally has it with secondary cat delete. Sounds mean, no drone.

Yes I did... I also called Their customer service and they promised zero drone, with that being said that there was no mistake in installation, I didn't do it, I took my car to the local muffler shop and they checked for leaks or for some metal touching each other and everything was good, but the drone is unbearable

Of course, I did it with my Flowmaster Super 10's which is the deepest, off road use only muffler.. they drone the worse. J-pipe eliminated 90% of it.

My friends car, he also did the J's and eliminated his drone

Any good muffler shop that knows their stuff can install J-pipes. It's usually 100-150 bucks.
