Drone noise.

[Fireguy]

2008 Alpha with a Gibson exhaust. Bought it this way but the sound is getting annoying. I also pull a small trailer that intensified the sound. Any suggestions?

Get rid of the Gibson. Got to an aftermarket shop and have them put on a Magnaflow or similar. I have a Gibson, as does cbetts. I'm used to it (I think cbetts likes is) but if you don't like it the best thing might be to go custom as it would save you money and improve the sound.

The Gibson removes the stock resonator and muffler, replacing it with one muffler.

People generally get annoyed riding in my truck for extended drives because of the droning. The stock resonator does a great job of reducing the noise. I am sure you have more noise than I do since you have the V8. A good turbo muffler should give you a nice mellow sound and little cabin noise. If Flowmaster is too loud, try Magnaflow.

Thanks guys. Love these forums.

I kept reading the title of this thread and thinking,
If you can hear the drone, you are in deep, deep trouble.

Drone = UAV, aka Predator

I bet there are some Al Qaeda types in Afghanistan who are real tired of drone noise, too

I think if you can hear the drone noise, then it is not you, but the drone that is in trouble... Unleas it's falling right on top of you.

I have a Magnaflow and really like it. It gives it a better sound without being obnoxious during long trips.

Just to keep things in perspective, do you still have the resonator? Most of the Magnaflow systems on H3s that I have seen still have it. Not sure if that is the magical piece to make it quiet or not.

Mine has some drone but nothing too bad magnaflow with the resonator is what I'm running. I like it

Yes, it still has the resonator.
