i was told they don't drone.. but i think pete has headers which can make a difference.. these drone. lucky i can pass through that rpm range pretty fast. and its not there at all at highway speeds. i'm thinking if i go from the 2:94 gear in it to the 3:23 that i originally planned on that i'd probably never be in the drone area.. but i'm really liking the 2:94 gears..lol
