After running the Carven Progressive for a while now, it has become a nuisance. It was terrible on the recent road trips I took to Kentucky, Florida, and Tennessee. The resonance in the highway gears, teamed up with the vibrations that I can feel through the floor board as well as the resonance causing random rattles outweighs the cool/sound factor. It seems like the entire exhaust system becomes a tuning fork at highway speeds around the 1500 rpm mark.
Good:
Startup
Acceleration
Downshifting in tunnels like a child
Bad:
Highway drone @ 1500-2000 rpm
Vibration from resonance
My options moving forward are a couple of different routes, timeline dependent on cost:
Full Borla cat back $$$
Dynomat the full interior $$$
True Dual with dual mufflers (Spintech, Aero Turbine, Glasspacks, etc.) $$
Add 5" resonated tips $
Back to stock $
I don't recall the drone being so bad with the 6 Speed in the 2012 I had with true dual, x-pipe, Dynomax VT's, 5" tips.
What say you folks?
