My DIY system has a bit of drone, not real loud but annoying on a longer drive. I have a big resonator up front but small race muffler in the back, when I put on the straight pipe for the track there is not a lot more drone when accelerating or cruising but a huge jump to a very high level under deceleration, odd it is mostly there.
I am going to work on a Helmholtz resonator for the pipe right before the Vband for the straight pipe/muffler quick change so the resonator is always on. Much less weight than a bigger muffler and I have a lot of pipe sections to work with. I will find something that I can slip a pipe over a pipe and can tune it that way and then cut off what is not needed and weld it up nicely.
Before Vband was welded in, after the last bend before going into the muffler.
There is room on top of the muffler for the Helmholtz resonator.
It would not be exact for any other system but might be close on some other 3" ones that are true 3" from turbo back with straight through resonator and muffler and single tip so I will share the info when I get mine dialed in.
It will have to be done when I get the EFR kit here and tuned first.
Stay tuned, add comments, etc......
