secondary cats and resonator removal = drone?
I have the Arqray axle back on the car now, after selling my Gintani Race, which had too much drone.
Well, I want to wake up the Arqray a bit....thinking of just grabbing a Sosi X-pipe and welding it in to get rid of secondaries and resonators. The Arqray has no drone right now, but how much drone did you guys get that after you removed the above with stock axle back? That should give me an idea of what the Arqray would sound like. Any help would be appreciated. Craig

I have heard almost every E9x M3 exhaust combo in person that is on the market. I have never been happy with the cabin sound level after deleting the resonators. Most aftermarket X-pipe's have rear resonators for this reason.
The Challenge Street X-pipe clamps on after the primary cats and deletes the secondaries. This might be the best option to bring out more volume.

Strange.....I have read that there really isn't any drone without the resonators from some people, but of course others say there is. I had a Gintani Race axle back and it was horrible inside the car on the highway at 60-65mph.

I have Remus Race and there was WAAYYYY to much drone when I deleted my resonators. My resonators are now back on and I am a lot happier.

Did you ever run the Remus with the STOCK 2ndaries/resonators intact? I've heard the Remus has a fair amount of drone to begin with. The Gintani with stock X/cat's/res had sick drone. Arqray is quiet as a mouse.

That is the Street X-pipe. I have only heard the Challenge Race X-pipe and Gintani Race and that combo was crazy loud
