I also got an Xforce high flow ceramic cat put in.

Ive got an R33 GTS-t. The car was completely stock before the mod.....stock turbo and boost.

For performance, the setup is fantastic but I now have a majoy droning problem. I have booked in again to get an inline muffler installed.

In peoples experience, will this cut out the drone? Need to know as I dont want to waste my money if its not going to work

Thanks in advance!

Single muffler is certainly a contributor to it.

Everyone defines 'drone' and 'noise' differently,that said 2 mufflers will reduce noise and drone without a doubt.

A cheap middle muffler could possibly make the drone worse. If anything that little hot dog in the middle is whats making all the racket in the car. Remember that good exhaust companies design their products in a way to make them sound good and flow well. They position mufflers in specific positions with diameters and restrictors to make them sound good. A basic muffler slapped in the middle wont fit it.

Ive run straight pipes before with 1 muffler at the rear and can say all the noise was at the back of the car. Windows up, AC on and listening to moderate levels of music and the exhaust note was everyone elses problem - not mine.

Plus you are going to hack up a pretty nice looking exhaust and whack on a mild steel piece of shit.
