With any exhaust on the bmw v8s... there will be some sort of droning...
We tried many different setups, including, stock resonators, aftermarket resonators etc etc and it will still drone! It only drones around 2k in auto. If you drive step, or ds, drone is very minimal...
My setup...
X pipe, 2 x magnaflow mufflers... no resonators... sounds killer, i can deal with the drone

Hey randy you mentioned you wanted to meet up with some who has magnaflow exhaust in the bay area, I will be in the meet that's coming up in a month something you can hear my exhaust.My exhaust sounds perfect not to loud not really any drowning, my setup is quad magnaflow with x-pipe muffler and two Magnapacks installed on each side before the exhaust tip, I love it

I have the 14815. It's not bad at all. But stock is so quiet, so if you are used to that silence inside the cabin, you might not want to do an aftermarket exhaust at all.
