... I am in the exact same situation. I really don't mind it. I actually love going through the gears around town, but the girlfriend hates it! Driving with her in the car, knowing that she thinks it's too loud, makes me not drive as I normally would. It makes me conscientious. Know what I mean? I find myself trying to ease up on the gas and coast more than I'd actually like to...

I have the Injen SES true dual exhaust and I had the same drone issues. I had a local muffler shop install the Magnaflow x-pipe and it not only got rid of the drone, it sounds sexy! All the guys at my local auto-x club love the sound of my exhaust. I also regained quite a bit of torque that you normally lose by going with a dual exhaust.

Here you go. It should either be 11385(2.25d) or 11386(2.5d). Dont know the diameter size for the injen. I have the 11385 on my borla.
