Sounds like you can speak to a few different systems and their results on the same vehicle. Do you mind sharing with us your reasoning for abandoning the Comptech catback? My guess is you went from one end of the spectrum (Greddy) to the other (Comptech) and then settled for something midpoint?

increases air flow from the cylinders, out the exhaust, causing better throttle response.

when i did the atlp jpipe it reduced my drone because the air flow is better. better flow = less resonance
