No drone for me. Everyone's take will be different. It obviously sounds different and you can hear it but as to whether
you think it's droning only you can really say - id say most people would say it doesn't drone. I know that doesn't
help much but honestly Im super happy with it. If you drive normal/around town etc you barely even notice the difference other than a slightly deeper rumble when setting off. Overall it's basically only very slightly louder but has a much deeper tone so
seems louder than it actually is if that makes senes. It's not enough to annoy the neighbors in a morning but enough to turn heads when you start it up. Put your foot down and then it's a different story but not at a crazy level. Just a deeper refined tone and more pops and bangs without being anti social. If you want just little more theatre without being a **** you'll be very happy with it.
