the amount of drone will be personal preference. if anything though, drone will be most present at lower rpms.

So the drone is noticeable in lower rpms with just the section 3?

I was also thinking section 3 only RPI. After hearing you need to cut and piece it together, I ended up going with the full RPI GTS Exhaust I didn't want anything too loud, I have to say this GTS set up from RPI is perfect. I hear people saying its too loud and neighbors complain, its not loud at all and no drone (these people probably never had a muscle or modded car before). In 6th and 7th on the highway at 70 you cant even hear it.

The quality of RPI products are unreal, fits perfect and sounds insane when you mash on it!!! I only wish RPI would sell stickers or emblems to promote the products!! FYI I also have the scoops and filters/block off plates makes huge difference.
