EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
I read a lot of posts here and have come to the conclusion the drone is just something you can live with or you can change the muffler. I love the nice look of the Band B mufflers and the tips. Any ideas on a nice stainless muffler I can slip in to not lose HP and still have a nice polished stainless look and kill the cruising drone?
I can't hear the freakin radio and down shift all the time so I can make a call. Anyone just put dynomat in the trunk area to help? Dynomax muffs, etc? part number or links? thanks for any experiences/info.

Re: EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
my white car now has the b and b x pipe but with dyno max 3 in super turbo mufflers with dual exits and have no drone at all . best of all we took the tips off the b and b muffler and put them on the dyno max mufflers. i am sure it cost me no horsepower at all

Re: EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
Ive had all three systems. B&B, Magna Flow and Corsa.
Ive said this hundereds of times. For a cruiser or daily cruiser Corsa is the WTG. Magnaflow is the best bang for the buck money wise and is midline they drone less B&B best flowing, most agressive and the nicest looking tips in a 3inch mufllers for a track car or sunday car only. The resonance drone sucks.... You cant carry a converstaion with your passenger. My Z is a daily driver.

Re: EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
It all comes down to what you want if it's HP and sound the Dynomax mufflers are best for sound and performance if your looking just for quiet with bling Magnaflows sound nice and nice price but rob power over the latter.
Before you run out and buy Corsa's go listen to one at WOT from the outside of the car and decide from there, from the inside it sounds ok but what people hear from the outside is a whole other story especially with headers. Only one outlet tip of the Corsa is a working tip. Bob G has 427ci, AlZR1 has 441ci LT5's with headers full 3' exhaust, 3' x-pipe and 17228 Dynomax mufflers installed the C6ZO6 flappers both Z's are nice and quiet at cruise and sound bad a$$ at WOT Again it's what you want HP? Bling? Price? etc. Pete

Re: EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
FWIW, I had Dynomax 3" Ultraflow single in, dual outlet (stock '90 tips) with stock pipes and an LT4 resonator. It droned pretty good, and sounded excellent. When I went to headers, I kept ear plugs in the center console, and took Excedrin with me on trips. I ultimately went Corsa and had zero regrets.
The sound from outside could be described as rough, but I think it sounded bad-as-hell. It sounds like you are throwing sheetmetal into a shredder. Inside it sounds burbly and awesome. It's very dual-mode, much like the ZR-1 itself. Low throttle and it's pretty tame. Mat the throttle and it sounds like straight pipes. A friend said it sounds "like it's spitting razorblades at you". Painted black and it looked bad-as-hell too, I think:  Damn I miss how that car looks...

Re: EXHAUST DRONE ON B and B's
I have Corsa with headers & 4.10 gears, gears will matter, changes RPM/drone,Corsa-no drone, quit at low RPM, really gets loud at full throttle, works well for me, its all about what you want
