Having issues with "drone" 2300-3000 RPM. I've installed resonators and am planning to have an h-pipe configured into the system. Unfortunately it's still humming in the cabin at the respective RPMs noted above. FYI, I have an 2001 A6 2.7T with custom straight pipes and magnaflow mufflers...Two questions:

1) is there a better muffler that will quiet down the sound. Love the performance it's providing just don't need the attention...

2) will an h-pipe eliminate the drone.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I've heard that H and X pipes will make it a little quieter than just straits, but Idk about the drone. I have a bit of a drone with custom strait pipes and Remus mufflers, but between about 1300 and 2300. I love the the extra noise though, so I can ignore it.

 

Appreciate your response.

I am in the process of having my exhaust installed right now, I get the car back tomorrow! Can't wait!

I had the piggies done a while ago, I recently removed the center muffler and straight piped to two magnaflow 5X8 ovals. I hope it is not too loud. We'll see tomorrow.

Chech out the link above I started this huge debt about X-pipes. Some good info in there.

Good Luck

 

Thanks you all for your help...just want my wife to ride in my car again

 

No problem! Hope it works out for ya.
