Just some unnecessary personal attacks, which have been removed.

dynamat only does so much, and personally I think it is best for the audio boys and not the drone. I have my car fully lined, even went as far as to stick a sheet on the upper side of the exhaust. I have a lukey triflow and it only drones at specific rev ranges mainly 500rpm through to 6000rpm... And it can be unbearable. Went to the exhaust shop and said can I get a cat, they looked and I have two already. However after reading this I am going to order a lukey hiflow cat and see if that helps. Like you I dont want to lose the exhaust the car sounds too dam good with it.

i'm gonna agree with dan with this one. get a bigger cat asap... meow!
i have a BP-05 engine and they are louder and crazier than BP-26 engines. when i replaced my cat with a bigger high flow version, nearly all drone was gone and it sounded better, had more power and responce. there was no negatives to doing this.

he put some cardboard over the tip to make the effective size smaller. that would take any noise the tip is contributing up in frequency, eliminating the low bassy drone

I am going to try this tonight. I have a big oval tip, ford rx8 tip. Interested to see if it makes a difference. If it works I wonder if going to a dual tip would be better than a single big one. To stop any questions what I mean is instead of have a O tip I would put in an OO tip, or maybe an □□ tip.

Nah, get a Hello Kitty one.

No wonder you've got a drone with a 4.5" drainpipe on the back! Definitely get a smaller tip.
