Cat back exhaust

I have the MPE ( came on the car). The drone is annoying. The look is awesome. I bought the fabspeed catted downpipe. The car feels faster and more responsive in lower rpms. BUT its too loud for me. Im thinking of trying another cat back exhaust with the downpipe but do not want a drone.

Do the stock exhaust drone as well?
Any aftermarkets that sound better?
Wondering if the stock exhaust with the sport cat is still really loud?

I like the sound of the MPE - the drone.....


Thoughts?

Thanks

You can do Dinan + fabspeed catted .. This is our most popular combo

Another option would be the REMUS, my favorite exhaust

No drone with either one

So NO drone at 3k with the dinan or remus? How do they sound compared to the MPE? I know there are videos but have you heard them in person? Thanks

REMUS has the deepest and most aggressive tone

Dinan is mild but when you add DP it sounds good as well

I prefer either one over the MPE

No drone with the stock exhaust i love the sound is perfect because the OEM come with a small resonator
The stock exhaust with the Fabspeed DP is perfect ..

Keep the MPE you only need to add the stock resonator from the OEM exhaust buy one use .. you going to LOVE the deep sound with out the drone !!!

I like to buy the MPE

I can confirm no drone with the Dinan setup.

I am running FS Catted DP, Dinan resonator delete and Dinan Exhaust.

Coded ASD out and can be cruising in 6th gear at 3000 rpm and no drone.

With my previous setup I had drone between 2800-3200, not excessive but it was there.
