Good sound, but no in-cabin drone mutually exclusive?

Look into a Helmholtz resonator. I have a custom GReddy RS exhaust on my 15 F sport. Before the resonator there was crazy drone at 2500-3000 rpm. After I installed the Helmholtz resonator the drone was reduced.

Thoughts or comments ?

Thanks,

I would keep the mid pipe and change the Magnaflow axle back. My friend noticed the drone after installing the magna flow axle back, also another friend didn't install an axle back with his mid pipe and headers and he doesn't have drone. BTW they both have the Invidia mid pipe.

I'll leave the noise for my s2000 lol.

I'll try to update the thread with some vids once I have the car, and exhaust. (taking delivery by the end of August).
Any update with the drone?

Hi there. What type of exhaust shop installed the helmholtz on your GReddy exhaust? I believe it needs to be tuned to the right frequency for it to be effective. I’m trying to solve a drone issue on my axleback that I installed.

thanks!
