Might like to change the name to "Fusion"---more people will recognize it.
Damn auto correct. Thanks

With the valves closed no, with them open yes. I just changed out my fusions for Akrapovic and the Akrapovic drones with the valves closed... My fusions are in the For Sale section.

Drone is manageable by changing gears.

The only completely drone-free aftermarket exhaust system I've ever heard or seen are the Corsa products. I've used Corsa on several cars over the past several years and NEVER experienced unwanted drone.

The level of acceptable drone is highly subjective. What one person says is "no drone" is another persons worst nightmare. The only way YOU will ever know your acceptable level of drone is to ride in a car with the exact exhaust system you are contemplating.

100%. And that car had better have exactly the same mods you have on yours. Headers make a huge difference in the drone in an exhaust.

Yeap. I read the same comments when I was looking at the Loudmouth system for my 2002 Trans Am. Decided to go with it since there was a group buy at one point and was very happy with it. Whatever drone there was didn't bother me. Try to find a member that has the same setup and try it out for yourself.

With the valves closed there isn't any drone, and with the valves open there is a little bit. I put the Z06 exhaust manifolds and 3" exhaust back to my 2.5" Fusions and it actually drones even less in the open mode now since the tone is a little bit deeper.
