So... anybody else have this exhaust and DCT?

Just wondering cuz my wife has complained about drone when she test drove the car with the new exhaust. She drives in auto mode and DCT likes to keep the RPM at or around 1500-2000 rpm when cruising (below 45mph). At those ranges, the exhaust amplifies the drone that is noticeable even with the stock exhaust. But at 3K rpm or above, the drone is gone.

Btw, the exhaust looks incredible and the welds are immaculate. I dont have the tips attached though as John from Wicked is giving me shorter tips to use for my sedan. I dont think the tips will affect the drone though.
