Default Tanabe Cat Back Those who have it - Drone?

I am still trying to decide if I want to pull the Trigger on the Tanabe Cat Back for a 13 GS350. I'm just about ready to order it. For those who have it, I know it's more quite than the others.

But does it Drone, at alI?

I don't want anything that Drones. I hate Drone. Please help me out and let me know. Thanks.

I have it and love it. To be fair every exhaust on a automatic is going to have some drone no matter what and the louder the exhaust as a whole, the louder the drone. I don't notice it myself as it is really quiet around town, but when you get on it. It lets the V6 come to life just enough. Over time like all exhaust, the tone got deeper and it is really nice right now.

Here is some footage when I first got it. I need to do a proper drive by since it sounds much better now.

Thank you Sound good. I know it's louder and that the sound changes with time. I'm still trying to get opinions from those who have, if it actually has Droning at like 2-3k? I don't think I have ever seen anyone complain about it on the Tanabe, but just checking to be sure.

yeah, they are the quietest on the market. I've had my fair share of LOUD cars with off road pipes and motorcycles. This car I didn't want any of that or droning. I enjoy it a lot and wouldn't change it.

Just the axle back doesn't drone in my opinion, more than stock yes but not loud at all. we have the Revel (Tanabe) exhaust in stock.
