Default Mbrp single exhaust

I'm looking at getting the single system with the resonator, does anyone have the system? How's the drone if there is any.

I looked into getting a used mbrp catback but found many reviews stating that there was significant drone, and that the aluminized versions rusted very quickly.

The 4.0L had drone. I dunno about the fullsize kits. I tried not to rev it too much as it could be loud.

I think if my 5.0 drones I would add another resonator at the tailpipe. Does anyone with the 5.0 have the single mbrp?

I have the 3" 409 SS single MBRP exhaust with resonator. It doesn't drone, per say, but is pretty aggressive sounding. It was much louder in the cab than I thought it would be, but not so much that you can't comfortably have a conversation or listen to the radio. Even with OD locked out during towing, the sound isn't too overbearing.

I would say that this is pretty accurate. I've had the same system since mid December. I love the sound but those first few times cruising in the 65-70mph range (about 1800-2000 rpm) was a good bit annoying. I've noticed it's mellowed out over the past few months though.

Thanks for the responses! Is there any way to add another resonator at the tailpipe?

Not really. Bends are too tight after the muffler. I spoke to MBRP. They do offer a quieter muffler that replaces the standard one, but is not offered as an option when purchasing the kit. Also, they said it was more restrictive and would cost performance when installed. They didn't elaborate, as they had not done any dyno testing of system with that muffler in place. I chose to opt with the loudness; not wanting to the defeat the purpose of the exhaust upgrade.
