Killed the Drone

After I had a 4" turbo back exhaust system installed I got the dreaded drone between 2000 and 2300 rpm. I didn't mind the extra noise of the exhaust system but that drone about drove me up wall. After searching the forums for an answer and not finding one I broke down and had a Flowmaster muffler #954055 installed. I wasn't sure if I was throwing away $220 but it was worth a try. To my sheer delight the drone is gone. The exhaust is still louder than the stock system which I dont mind, but drone is definitely gone! I have guages and watched my egt and haven't noticed any higher temps (although I haven't pulled my 10K trailer yet). Just thought I would spread the word about a fix for the drone that works.



96, Ram 2500, 2wd, Auto, 410 gears, extnd. cab, trans, EGT and boost guages, KDP fixed, EGR plugged, cat gone, Bullydog 2nd stage fuel plate, BHAF, 4" exhaust, 122K miles.
