Default Any drone with this setup? I've been reading about a 2-3K rpm drone with the Twin2

That RPM range puts me right in low highway cruising speeds and it would pretty much drive me crazy to hear that all the time.

I'm debating between the Milltek and Twin2 at the moment.

Thanks,

Default my impressions:

Overall, it is nice and subtle, and not very aggressive. If that is what you want, you'll be happy.

- idle tone is a relatively deep rumble but still quiet
- exhaust seems to go quiet when rpms > 3000, including at WOT
- there is a barely perceptible drone cruising at low rpms on the highway, but that is mostly a feature of the piggies, and not twin 2; I had little to no drone with twin 2 and stock dps; it is nothing compared to the drone I had with my Neuspeed G2 with stock dps
- I usually hear the turbos more than the exhaust
- for the money, twin 2 build quality and fitment is not as good as I expected

I prefer something more aggressive, and may get ASP DPs or remove the rear resonator from the twin 2.

Default How long have you had the system on the car?

It is a very quiet system, and we just do not hear drone with it. Everybody here has driven distance with our Twin2, and nobody ever hears drone, but this can be a very subjective experience.

Did you just put it on? If so, it can take 1000 miles or so for it (and any exhaust) to settle in and mellow at certain RPMs.

Nope I've had it on at least 10,000 miles. Got it used, even brought it down there.

Default Brought it here for install?

Was it "droning" from day 1? Or did it get louder?

Default Not for an install just an adjustment.

When the exhaust gets wet it tweaks it slightly and causes it to rub against the underbody, right in the front a few inches back from where it connects to the downpipes. This is separate from the droning, but definitely makes it more noticeable.
