It does sound great, the OE mounts took care of your droning issues?

I ask because my B&B drones and even after installing a Venturi tube, I still have the problem!

I love the sound, but the drone gets old and tiring especially to my wife and her "delicate" ears!

It didn't go away completely but definitely lowered the drone way below what it was before. It could have had something to do with the height of mounting also because with the oe mounts the exhaust is now further away from the body. My 23 month old son loves the sound, his eyes light up at 2k rpms on higher gears which is when the slight drone shows up. Do you have pics of the b&b install and the venturi tube ?
