Jba Drone

[typhoon4x4]

my question is simple has anyone yet been able to cancel out the drone that the jba exaust has naturally?

Vincent, I have the full JBA exhaust system, and either I don't notice it or it isn't there. I also auto-stick my Maggie 99% of the time, so maybe that's why I don't hear it.

I noticed the drone at first, but the more miles that I put on her the less pronounced it seems.

oh its pretty bad if i dont get the corsa between now and dyno day youll see what i mean.

If you have any loose clamps, the exhaust leaks will cause drone also. Check to make sure everything is tight.

What do you mean by naturally ? I am adding a glasspack near the back to act a drone eliminator. Should do the trick.

Put it back up on the lift again and make doubly sure it's not hitting the body ANYWHERE... pay particular attention to the area around the mufflers and the spare tire well.

Good luck!

I had a small leak at a clamp and the drone was crazy!! Tightened it up and it was a new creature.....

she is tight all the way around she just has a lot of dronei dont mind teh sound its awesome i love it but cabin drone kills me .along with the all the comments the wife and kids make in the car.the immediate solution is not to have them in the car,thats my personal favorite lololol.so before i sink 800 into a corsa exaust i want to invest some tiem into a solution.

[typhoon4x4]

did that on the lift actually the gentleman that put the tq converter checked everything once over and made a few correction on the crossmember for me.

It seems many folk are adding zoomers tips to eliminate the drone issues on other exhaust systems. Have you given that option any thought? It may just give your system a "gentlemanly" side

My JBA had horrendous cabin resonance. Not MDS buzz. Resonant boom/vibration in the cabin from 1500-2500 RPM. Added Magnaflow resonators to the rear, which completely eliminated it. Unfortunately, it also killed the sound. Almost sounded stock.

The guys at HHP convinced me to go with the Corsa, and I have been thrilled with it...

I only have the cat-back exhaust, but the above statement is true for me also. I'm still in th belief that an incorrect install, with the pipes too close to the crossmember will give some truely objectionable sounds.

Here's what happened with my install:
First the installer couldn't get the crossmember in, the next day I told them it would fit and they got it in. The next day all kinds of noise was coming from the underside of my Magnum. I went back to the installer, they loosened the clamps, I then put a piece of wood between the crossmember and the pipes and had them tighten the whole thing back up. I haven't had any kind of drone type noise since. Twice I had items loaded in the back just right and I did get some kind of objectionable sound.
