Well that is why I got the RPi, so I don't get droning. I think that the install shop just messed somthing up...

They re-checked the clamp and everything was like it's supposed to be and they followed the directions on the RPi forum when they first installed it, and I watched the entire install. So at this point I am sure I got a defective muffler. I am going to give Eloy a call

Ok I just came back from the shop and they confirmed that it is in fact droning pretty bad, thank you very much.

Whatever dude, youre super anal about everything. Post a sound clip or we really cant help at all. I only trust tuner shops, I don't trust run of the mil shops for this kind of thing

Give me a break man. Obviously I am not an idiot and I can tell when an exhaust drones. The shop I used has a very good reputation and does not specialize in beaner mobiles. They have been nothing but helpful, and the install is so easy not a whole lot can go wrong. I tried posting a sound clip but my camera can't pick up the drone. At this point it's clear that the exhaust is droning so I don't think a sound clip is going to clear things up any more.
Good luck with RPI then. They will prob ask for a sound clip to confirm there is drone with the exhaust, so I would figure that out if you want them to help you out.

This topic can go on with assumptions on "droning". Post the sound clip that you have, we're curious to hear it
