Jimmy, a big set of extractors, hi-flow cats & a tune might help
I know how you feel, I have bought some stuff online after a few drinks that I wish I hadn't as well!
Anyway, AFAIF they are good on a manual so it shouldn't be hard to sell.
Ok so I had a few beers got a bit excited and ordered an exhaust online.
its a Manta 3" cat back in mild steel for an auto E3 Senator.
Yes i ****ed up and should of ordered a 2.5" twin system.
The drone is killing me.
Is there a reasonably priced fix??
or do i just pull it off and sell it?
Dont drink and shop online.
Cheers in advance Jimmy.
Get Thrashed!

I know it will drone a bit, even the factory pipes had a slight drone, just wanna reduce it now and some of the vibration that comes with it.

A mate of mine bid & won a Yellow Monaro on evilBay, in contrast it turned out a great car!
Easiest option is to sell it and move on...
Don't waste your time trying to (Modify / Changing Bits & Pieces / Mixing and Matching Mufflers) your'll be chasing your tail going round in circles...
Was yours the "Medium" or "Quite" System option from the Manta web page?
Catback only will drone like a mother****er. You have air being restricted via standard manifolds and cats, then it bounces around like all **** after it's been slowed down then smashed out to big pipe. Match a big set of 1 7/8" headers and highflow cats to it (both with 3" in/out) and it will sound mint.
Agreed, fit decent headers and cats....
But TBH it's literally the first time I've ever heard anyone complain about drone on a Manta system!
I've seen a number of complaints on Manta droning eg http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?155337 but agree that decent headers and cats may alleviate it.
There is an easy solution yes!!!
Order a new camshaft package, headers, cats and boom! Problem fixed
or just whack on the rear mufflers, thats where all the drone comes from. see only about a 20whp gain in a stroke 402 with stock mufflers vs open pipe. downside is car will be dead silent with the stockies on again.
It's happened before, It will all happen again.
i think ill put the factory rear mufflers back on and see how it goes
Get Thrashed!
