Need to get rid of drone

Hey guys

so i have 2.25 true duals with dynatech headers with the dt hi flow cats, maggie X pipe, and 14' maggie mufflers


this is really loud and while i like it, the drone in the cab is getting too bad, its fine when the music is loud but when you are trying to have a convo its really annoying.


so the muffler guy never put the x pipe and mufflers near the middle, they are right before the rear axle.


so should i switch to bigger mufflers or what? basically i just want to get rid of the droning

thanks guys

Swap the 14" maggies out for a pair of 18" or bigger mufflers.

That's how I did it, but I only needed one. Worked beautifully for me.

Will the 18" fit side by side?

It should, but it depends on how your pipe jockey set everything up.

I don't think it would help decrease drone. I think 18" mufflers would cut it enough, but I'm not you.
