Hi!
So I have a manual crosstrek which runs at 3000-3500 rpm on the highway. I had an LP Aventure straight pipe on it and it sounded so good ( https://youtu.be/alAxgiBHE_Q?t=4m37s ) but after two months of doing a lot of highway driving I had enough of how loud it was in the car so took it off and put the stock muffler back on. Unfortunately, I miss the subaru rumble!!!
I was talking to a subaru mod shop owner earlier today and he said that, "Drone is actually resonance, its the reverberation of the exhaust pulses that are trapped in the exhaust system. with a freer flowing system, a high quality resonator and muffler, drone is no longer an issue. it really has very little to do with the engine itself, or the rpm range at highway speed. its more to do with the correct combination of exhaust system components." Can anyone validate that this is true?
If this is true would I be able to get a higher quality resonator in conjunction with the LP aventure straight pipe to keep the same amazing sound from the video but cancel out drone on highway speeds to make me a happy camper?
