checking your youtube clip, your set-up is much louder than mine.

i had thought about going w/ the megan mid-pipes, but the way my set-up is right now it's at the point of "barely acceptable".

I had another clip on there w/o the megan midpipe, it only has the axle-back with a magnaflow resonator in place of the oem one.

yes.

it's probably as loud as i'd like to be at this point. any louder, and i'll consider it overly excessive.

that's why i say my set-up is "barely acceptable" - because it's near excessive but not overly.

phil9892 after installing your megan midpipe, did the drone go away?
and did the car get louder at higher rpms?
because my exhaust note, usually dies at over 3k

The drone did not go away, but the car is louder and noticeable sound wise in the higher rpms. With the Hipower exhaust, I'm pretty sure you won't be able to eliminate drone completely. It just comes down to whats acceptable to you.
