Dinan Exhaust Drone.....?

Did a search on this but couldn't come up with anything. Does the dinan exhaust(stock headers, mufflers only) drone when cruising? Im looking to purchase one and wanted a nice sound at WOT but still a quiet car while cruising.

+1. At freeway speeds, it's no different than stock. That's what I love about it. The only issue I have is that when I start it up in the morning, it's loud. The garage acts like a megaphone and I'm sure the neighbors are annoyed but they haven't complained. I can't imagine how loud a RPI or Eisenmann would be. Also, as I pull away, it has the high whine (ala import tuner cars) that goes away as the exhaust warms up. That's pretty annoying. Does the ECU reprogram from Dinan fix these issues? I heard from others that it does.

I have the Dinan exhaust and middle exhaust with 4" resonators, cold air intake and stage III SW.

With these mods, the cold start is still load - very loud! After 60-90 seconds, it mellows to a still-sporty idle, but without any drone. I do not drive after a cold start until the idle settles into the warmed-up, quieter mode.

No drone, great exhaust. Just a little background hum like stock on the highway. Has a fantastic idle sound. I much prefer the "bassy" idle of the Dinan to my old Eisenmann Sport. In fact, I prefer the Dinan all around to the Eisenmann Sport. And yes, cold starts are a little aggressive.

I agree, There is no Drone with the Dinan exhaust. And the sounds gets even better with a SS X-Pipe (No Resonator).
Just roll the windows down!!!
