From my experience they are mild at idle and LOUD at WOT! It all depends on how the exhaust pipe is ran and exits though. For example, I have my dual 2.5's exiting in front of the rear tire and there is no drone! It is also mild while driving normal. However, at WOT it comes ALIVE!

I ordered a Hooker AeroChamber from Jegs for $70.00 welded in place of factory muffler and ran out the back sounded great with the resonator but i wanted louder so i dumped it. Then it was too loud lol so i ran dual pipes out the back and now it has a nice mean rumble to it.

I also chose the Hooker because its different from what everyone else has and has a unique sound IMO.

I have a round borla muffler that's about 14" long on my 3.5" exhaust and it sounds similar to a glass pack at wot. I think I'm going to try out a magnaflow next...
