Thank you sir. That might be a big part of it, just getting used to the new sounds and tones coming from the system. Plus I do need to be more patient and let them break in. I have a big problem with being patient, obviously.

i'm going to be the asshole that says 'should have gotten cutouts!!! '
i keed i keed... i've been down your road before... getting an aftermarket exhaust hoping it wouldn't drone or be loud... then ended up taking a bath on it and going a different direction... i feel your pain...

That's the thing that bothers me most; they weren't too tame. They were perfect volume-wise. I just didn't like the drone at lower RPMs so I somehow convinced myself I'd be ok with a louder system if it got completely rid of the drone. I guess that's why I'm ok with keeping the Corsa on for a while since I'll be keeping the FM catback and not selling it. It may very well go back on in the Spring, then I could have cutouts installed. That would definitely be a solution to my current dilemma other than the drone will continue to be there at low RPMs, which most people fix with turning the ECO mode off with their tuner. I may end up doing that and just turn it on when I'm going on a long highway trip.

Does it drone if you go over 80? I just ask cause I had an exhaust that droned on the F and once you hit 80mph it went basically silent.

Nah not on those either. H pipe to mufflers then to resonators in back. Both systems use mufflers and resonators. The cure is more cow bell... um wait, I mean turning off MDS 4 cylinder mode.
I haven't gotten it that high yet. It's been wet and cold lately. I'm skured to go that fast with the Nitto Movitos in the back. Great dry traction but wet not so good.
You never had to deal with it with your 6 speed. It's not insane drone by any means. It was just I had the money and thought this would solve the drone completely. I did not. Now it's time for damage control.

I cut the resonators out of my 6 spd, installed flow master super 44s and ran straight pipe to the tips.
My car was LOUD and had nothing BUT drone. at about 2.5K it was at its worst.
But it was a muscle car and thats how I felt it was supposed to sound.

Yeah I'm not unhappy with the sound of the exhaust 75% of the time, really only when the car automatically goes into ECO 4 cylinder mode. I'll see if I can get a revving video up soon.

Revs video. Click to listen. There's no denying it sounds much meaner than the Flowmasters.

Maybe, not sure. Doesn't sound European all. It's pretty obnoxious on cold starts lol. Really raspy and loud on start up.

Did some drive bys and a launch yesterday. I swear since this video the exhaust has mellowed out. I wonder if it somehow broke it in faster lol. IDK.

It's definitely growing in me. Doesn't seem to be droning as much when going into Eco mode now. And it does sound pretty wicked.

Thanks Kev! It's a non-residential road that's a dead end so there's no possibility of traffic coming when doing stupid things like this. Arizona was a gold mine for deserted roads once you got outside of the urban PHX area.

Put the GoPro on the back of the car to get a POV video of the Corsa. Got home and the GoPro was not on the back any longer. Retraced my path and found said GoPro smashed to pieces laying in the middle of the road.

Doh...
Future reference, not a good place for any camera (I know they all do it) but those mics aren't good to begin with and positioning the camera like that leads to a highly distorted audio capture.

I've always been such an anal retentive fuk that I bought a damn surfboard leash to attach to it to something else as a backup.
I've wondered if external mic in trunk but camera on rear facing up so you can at least see something while filming.
Either way T...sorry to hear, man.

Leash is a good idea for an external mount.

Leash is definitely a good idea. If I replace it I'll be sure to do something like that. The odd thing is it didn't fall off after hitting a bump or during a pull, so I was hoping the memory card would be intact so I could see what happened, but it popped out when it crashed on the ground and I couldn't find it. I even went back a second time yesterday. It's so tiny it'd be nearly impossible to find.
