Mine is probably a bit much for some people but it only really becomes an issue when your on full throttle and then its like old school muscle car sound or so my mate reckons. Only times there is hint of drone is when your using a way to high gear like 4th or 5th at 20km/hr and its only a moment or so and I think the main thing for the DF exhaust is the long centre mufflers they seem to do a good job at controlling the drone. Mines a M6 so i guess these have less problems with drone compared to an auto.
