Default There is a slight drone under no throttle deceleration but its very live-able.

But as another AW member observed ... my trunk is full of stereo, the entire floor is a fiberglass enclsoure. So my car will be very well insulated for a "typical" sedan. Regardless I LOVE my AWE. Compared to the Miltek the AWE is an absolute work of art to look at and has a much throatier sound to it !
