Before it gets any further embedded in folklore, I would like to kill the newly created myth that has sprung up in the last week or two, that modifying the exhaust on a V8 without fitting headers is likely to cause droning.
I have been in a few cat-back modified exhaust V8's and none of them droned. Conversely I have been in a V8 with headers that droned quite a lot.
Droning is a function of the entire exhaust, choice of mufflers, amount of vibration transmitted to the cabin via mounts not hanging freely etc. Not just whether it has headers or not.
