just did the muffler deletes....
sounds awesome on the outside, but very disappointed with the drone. thank God i didnt do the cats which i was going to do but didn't have enough time.
the shop did nice mandrel bends, no rattling with the diffuser or anything like that.
the drone is a bit much though . i came from cars with drone and for some reason, losing that nice quiet interior kind of made me sad, lol.
too many thumbs up from random people today on the sound though. downshift blips are menacing.

yeah i read in an old post that you can control the drone and i know exactly what you are talking about but it's harder than what i thought and you will always get drone on decel, the drone is just bad IMO. at least the mufflers were cut where this process is reversible because im sure i would get tired of it.
for now, they are worth it from how it sounds on the outside. didn't lose any throttle response at all.

Also, rattling with the diffuser? what diffuser? Our cars don't have diffusers.
did you remove the resonator too or just mufflers?

i'll try to snap one tomorrow.
because not all exhaust set up drones. i've had over 6 exhausts on my 350z and only 1 of them had drone. one set up on that car was twice as loud as the ISF with the deletes now and it still had no low frequency drone like the ISF now.
It's weird, my 350z has horrible road noise, wind noise, etc but the exhausts never droned, i was expecting the quiet interior of the ISF would cancel the resonance through the cabin.
refer to this thread about rattling https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...s-rattles.html
no, kept the resonator. just the rear two mufflers. the shop kept telling me to run an x pipe and make it a true dual but i wasn't sure if that was a good idea.

We certainly do have diffusers. The front portion of the exhaust tips are in fact diffusers, and if the tail pipes rub against them, they will rattle.

What's the best way to get rid of the rattle? My driver side borla is rubbing. Ive taken it to a muffler shop and asked them to move the colt on forward and they looked at me like I was a Martian.. Am I the Martian for thinking its that simple?
