Default Front Mount Turbo and Exhaust Drone

Does anyone have an exhaust configuration with their front mount that doesn't drone on the highway? I'd be interested to know the details of your setup if you do.

If anyone had a very quiet aftermarket system with their turbo, I'd also like to know you setup. Right now I'm looking at a 22"-body MagnaFlow. My research says it will be somewhat quiet.

Quiet and no-drone. Too much to ask?

You're on the right track, Magnaflow is the best choice.

Magnaflow will be your best bet for NO drone. Keep in mind if are having some now, try wrapping the exhaust it will change what you here in the cab. Also make sure all your hangers are in tact and not allow metal to metal contact. That will make for some ugly sound.
I went froma stock muffler to a Magnaflow 3" exhaust shop special. Sounded really nice and over all was cheap. Then went to an MBRP 4" diesel exhaust kit, again not bad but louder.

Corsa Sport works great for me VERY quiet... until you mash your foot to the floor and then its as loud as no muffler

I would like to try their 4" diesel muffler on my truck, but I just don't want to spend another $380 on it to see if it works, lol. Wish some one would though...

First two posts are sponsors, pretty impressive.

I have looked at a corsa too. I was dead set on using a 4" diesel exhaust. I was just really worried about the drone. My STOCK duramax exhaust droned when I had it on my truck.

Corsa is pricey, but if it doesn't drone it would be worth it. I would probably get the touring version though.

Anyone ever used a flo-pro? I've seen a few posts about it on here.

That looks really clean, and expensive I run a single 3'' magnaflow oval and it has very little drone, quite basey right off idle though. Next setup will be a 3.5'' non bullet round magnaflow with 4'' tail pipe.

Corsa is worth the money, you wont be dissapointed. I had the sport version on my Z71 with a big head and cam 418 stroker with lts and no cats and it still didnt drone at all. Now Ive got their "turbo-back" setup on my Dmax and its just what you would expect from Corsa, stock quiet at cruise and pure evil at WOT

I use a Magnaflow and it is very quiet with no drone. I have the 30" stainless setup with a mandrel bent 3" tailpipe.
