exhaust drone
#11
The drone I have now with the volant is acceptable for now, I may add a resonator in the future. For now I'll just crank up the music

so i have the magnaflow cat back kit for my 06 h3 running with a volant cai. i love the setup for the most part but the constant drone when cruising at highwy speeds(about 2000rpm) is starting to bother me. has anyone figured out a way to quiet this? i was wondering if a pcm tune would help, or has anyone removed the resonator on the magnaflow kit? i hate to go back to stock because i like the performance and the sound of it most times and especially like the looks of the dual tips...but i do alot of highway driving and the drone is kinda annoying because i really liked how quiet the cab was when stock. thanks for any help fellas.
IMHO dyno test don't tell you much, flow bench testing answers many more questions.

I have just bought a volant cat back for my 08 ,is the drone that bad. My wife drives it most of the time and she won't be happy if its that loud.I wasn't going to tell her about it until i installed it,I might want to rethink this.I wish I could hear one in person,the sound clips on the web sites suck.

thanks for all your input guys...I took out the Volant CAI and went back to stock, it seemed to calm the drone down to a tolerable level. im gonna drive it like this for a few weeks to see if it lessens any. i will probably still put in a bigger resonator to really quiet down the drone.

For you guys who installed the volant exhaust did it come with any gaskets and at least one clamp? I think I am missing some parts as usual when buying through e-bay.You are right about the buick sound and I think i am going to install it and just suprise her.If she is unhappy I will trade her my work truck and put my pdr tools in the hummer.

I had the same problem. I originally went with the Volant system air and exhaust and the drone was so load I got headaches. I removed it reinstalled the resonator and added a magnaflow muffler just after the cat back and went straight out the back. No 90 degree turn. Sounds much better at cruising speeds but it is still aggressive around town.
