That's interesting- I have a drone problem, esp. from the passenger side, and the only exhaust mod I've done has been swapping to the Vibrant.

That's weird lol I haven't had any issues with drone at all. I have the second resonator taken out. I have driven Luca's car as well with both resonators taken out, and yes, it's hard to believe, but it really doesn't that much, if any at all.

So hopefully going to get mine installed this up coming week. Found a muffler shop right near work so I can drop it off in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day when its ready.

Did you remove your resonator?
By replacing stock muffler with the Vibrant, there is going to be an increase in sound, unfortunately, to some this can be annoying in cabin.
If you want to here some real drone - Subaru BRZ, Catless headers to 3" unresonated Cat-back with canister style mufflers. I had this setup for a very very short time on my last car. The BRZ's motor has a 12.5:1 compression ratio. The higher this ratio, the louder a car will be. After that exhaust setup every thing to me seems mild lol.
want to know if you removed the resonator because I am going to have my muffler installed this week and I am wondering if I should leave it in. I will be getting catless headers next week as well, but won't get around to installing them until after I smog my vehicle.
