I just got my M2 Performance Exhaust put on and it is insanely loud... After reading reviews and all i thought there would be no drone and it would be pretty quiet, just a deeper sound. Anywhoo.. installed it, and it is very loud, and there is a ton of drone between 1700 and 3400 RPM. I do have a resonator delete, and an x-pipe, so maybe thats why its so loud.
My question is... is there any of you that had the m2 with a resonator, and then got the resonator taken out? Did it have drone before and/or after the resonator delete? and did your guys' M2 mufflers just look like a perforated pipe going through the muffler to the tips.

Update no resonator delete or any of that. Just m2 exhaust, pretty loud for me too. Maybe just me>

Try looking into a magnaflow or cherry bomb replacement resonator. They are louder then stock but tend to not drone as much as a straight pipe.
I've had the M2 with and with out a resonator. It droned like crazy with out one.
My current setup is quite simple and budget friendly. I have a magnaflow resonator in the stock location followed by two magnapacks. This trails behind what I consider the hardest part and that's the delete of my secondary cats.
Basically the invidia mid pipe deletes the secondary cats. Why spend so much on it if I can find a shop to just replace them with straight pipes. So that's just what I did and it sounds nice. Not a lot of drone but still sounds sporty.
The M2 is loud with out a resonator and makes some great noise but for me the drone was terriable.

The drone is from your mid pipe. If you had the stock midpipe with the m2 axleback there wouldn't be much drone. I used a magnaflow resonator replacing the stock resonator and it came out really good.
