Exhaust drone (in-cabin)
Just installed a Tanabe Ultra Medallion catback and the drone inside the car is extremely annoying! I got a headache just driving around town. Does everyone else have this annoying droning and how do you tolerate it? The silencer greatly reduces the noise but I can't see the point of spending all this money for a performance gain only to plug it up. Might as well stay with stock. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Stick the silencer in there for your daily commute. I have noticed that Tanabe exhuasts cause a lot of drone not just in the evos, but also in the civic/rsx/350z and probably others that I haven't heard.
