The issue with drone is its a frequency and not every one can pick up that frequency the same. Some people may may not hear it at all and others will be driven nuts by it and others can be anywhere in the middle.

I have an 06 Ram SLT that's been running straight-pipes for most of it's life. It gets about an extra mile a gallon and has no better performance than my 02 SLT work truck with factor exhaust. It sounds absolutely fabulous!! I've gotten no tickets for loud exhaust and I've owned it for several years. But anything more than a 20 min drive will drive you nuts. NO one wants to be beside it and interstate driving is a study in people wanting to be aggressive and challenge it. Unfortunately it is SO loud you have to lean on the console to have a conversation and it makes upgrading the stereo useless. But I'm considering selling it and the pipes will sell the truck for me.. to some poor unsuspecting kid.

Basically, for me at least, it’s like this low humming sound but it’s not bothersome in any way.

THE best exhaust is no exhaust. Had the mufflers looped off my 2015 Hemi, and just a straight pipe in place of said exhaust....As it's been told to me....that sounds monstrous!!
I have yet to find any muffler that sounds better. especially at WOT. The truck gets everyone's attention at WOT

I have had straight pipes on every truck I have owned. Only reason I went muffler on this truck is because of a baby on the way.
True Duals Cat Back is what I always ran
I guess I’m one of the ones the drones don’t bother me much. Got a piped and cammed Harley thats loud as hell, my truck is loud and aggressive. I just like it like that.

No problem I can say it is LOUD lol. I have 392 challenger and charger guys pull up and complement it all the time. 2k-3.5k it nearly sounds like open headers.

Just added a thrush 17637 last week. Sounds awesome! A lot of drone inside. Exhaust shop cut the factory y out added 2 pipes into the thrush 17637... I decided to order a magnaflow 12568. To quiet it down some and hopefully eliminate some of the drone!
