Default Greddy SP Elite Exhaust Drone?

Have anybody with Greddy SP Elite Exhaust experience droning sound inside the cabin during cruising (let say @2500 - 4000 RPM or 50-80 MPH)?

I need your input as I am interested in this exhaust.

Thank you guys.

I had mine for about two months now. No drone at all don't worry about it. The exhaust is too quiet to have any drone really. btw fyi the SP Elite is the same as the SE, just without the burnt tip.

I concur! The GREDDY SP Elite is the best, no drone. I have a midpipe and even with it I have absolutely none, nice and quite, but amazing sound above 5K rpms! Get it, it's worth it!

I have the SE and mid pipe on a 350 and I do get a little drone over 2500. But over 3000, I'm not cruising anymore. But as stated before its a great sounding exhaust especially mated with an aftermarket mid pipe, gives it an aggressive tone. But won't be disappointed

Thank you for your kind advices.

I don't know if I will like the burnt tip or not. Sometimes it think the burnt tips look good but other times I don't like it.

I also have a Greddy SP Elite exhaust installed on my is350. When cruising the exhaust has no drone. When on the throttle just above 2,500 rpm's you can hear a nice deep rumble but step a little higher around 3-4,000 and it becomes more apparent without being too obnoxious. Throughout the power band and all the way to WOT the exhaust has a nice mid-range tone. As an axle-back, it's a nice upgrade from stock cans. If this exhaust shows itself too quite, pair it with a mid-pipe and call it done!

I was thinking about this or the new Evo3 from Greddy. sounds really good. little less exspensive. and was hoping it sounds good too. and if its not loud enough, id install a invidia midpipe or megan.

I love my Greddy exhaust. I had the M2 and Hks but the Greddy is my favorite. Can't wait to pair it up with the invidia mid pipe.
