With catless downpipe the worst drone areas are always 2500 and 3500 rpm.I would like to add to this, for those of you with an aftermarket exhaust and excessive drone, can you please share with us the 1 or 2 RPM windows where it is worse? As in what ranges of your driving habit is it the most unbearable and you would eliminate it if you could.
I went back to stock because of the 2500-3000 rpm drone. Still waiting for your exhaust setup. Maybe your side branch resonators will get the job done!!! I’ve sat in V8’s with those type of resonators and it’s amazing how they’re quiet inside but it’s a different story when you hear it outside of the car.I would like to add to this, for those of you with an aftermarket exhaust and excessive drone, can you please share with us the 1 or 2 RPM windows where it is worse?

I settled on the Spec L for a few reasons. I felt like with the smaller diameter tubing (still bigger than OEM), it would be quieter than the 3" units, yet offer a sportier sound and look. For me, it accomplishes both very nicely. Regarding other exhausts offering "more flow" or "less restriction," it's widely known now that even the OEM exhaust isn't a restriction... even to those of us making the max full bolt ons and a tune can offer. The Spec L looks and sounds great, is lighter in weight than most, is reasonably priced, and wont be a restriction for most. It doesn't drone either.I think I narrowed it down to one of the 2 hks exhausts, not too many people here with the hi power spec L, why is that? Both are the same price and have similar sound.
Is it the smaller diameter? Does the thinner metal cause longevity issues? It’s only capable of handling 400+ horsepower vs the 530+ horsepower of the legamax? Just the look of it?
I don’t personally love the look from the back of the car of either exhaust but I prefer the spec L by a hair and the 7kg weight savings of the spec L is a plus.
Please share why you picked the legamax over the spec L if you own one or why you would if you don’t
Thanks
that angle makes it look pretty good.Spoon Sports
Noticeable upgrade from stock
Beautiful welds and appearance
Zero drone
Kinda wished it was slightly louder especially at the track but I suspect it will get there after intake and down pipe upgrades
Really happy with it
That sounds great man great choice like the black tips as well.I have a Milltek ceramic coated catted downpipe and Milltek cat-back exhaust (fully resonated).

My goodness I just had a catless DP and Front Pipe added to my HKS Legamax, it's actualy insane the amount of noise it now makes. I'll be looking to get a mid muffler to tone it down as it has now introduced drone on accell from 1500-3500.With catless downpipe the worst drone areas are always 2500 and 3500 rpm.
Yeah the HKS with catless does have that but it’s very tolerable for me personally. Imo once you go catless there will always be drone with any exhaust setup. Just depends what you (and the wife/girlfriend haha) can tolerate.My goodness I just had a catless DP and Front Pipe added to my HKS Legamax, it's actualy insane the amount of noise it now makes.

In the upper rev ranges from 3500 - 7000 it sounds glorious, but like a full race car!
