Drone,anybody?

E93FTW · 02-28-2014, 08:06 PM

Am I the only one that does not mind the drone from exhaust systems? I currently have the AA Signature exhaust and it does drone and I actually like it.

e92_enthusiast_1 · 02-28-2014, 08:18 PM

Does yours sound like this?

AA Sig Exhaust

I dont mind it. Idk, its all preference i think. What are your top 3 exhausts if you had to rank them?

Pretty close to mine yeah, though every car sounds different I think... Top 3 IMO: Remus,AA,PE.

mike@x-ph.com · 02-28-2014, 08:28 PM

One of the Best Exhausts IMO

e92_enthusiast_1 · 02-28-2014, 08:38 PM

Nice:
BMW 335I N54 AA Exhaust
BMW 335i N54 PE WOT
Ramus

Think i like AA, PE, then Ramus in that order. They're all nice though. Definitely going to look into upgrading.

I agree, The AA is a good value for sure. I live near the AA shop and that place is like BMW Disneyland.

I don't mind loud. can't stand drone. up mountain roads it drives me batty... light drone is fine, even loud drone.
it is when there is sympathetic vibrations emanating from throughout the cabin that I find intolerable and the bass begins to create a harmonic within the cabin. like when you crack the sunroof at a certain rpm and the air pressure inside the cabin pounds on the eardrums.
as I have said in the past, maybe it is fine where it is flat, but I will not put up with it around here.

I get what your saying, I actually enjoy all the vibrations but the pressure in the ears would be too much. And I do hate all the loud ricer exhausts. Just today this ugly dodge challenger(not even RT) drove by and it was so loud That I wanted to punch a wall or a face or something .

Drone is somewhat bearable until you have to drive an hour home with a splitting, pounding headache.

E46driver · 02-28-2014, 09:06 PM

The Eisenman Race Exhaust for the n51/n52 sound the best imo.

e92_enthusiast_1 · 02-28-2014, 09:11 PM

Wow! That is a nice sound.

Damn that n55!!! I'd take the Vanguard V1/V2 for the n54/n55

Every exhaust has drone....just different levels and acceptance for each driver.

Lol ya. Saw a dodge magnum... Fully pimped with 22's, full tint, tribal pinstripes etc with two giant dual exhausts. And a droning V6.

It was amazing.

I might add that once you get used to it you don't really notice it anymore.
