No more Drone, AAHHhhhh... the sound of ... well ... no drone.
Installed the exhaust this morning, no problems encountered, and the sound is sweet. It's still a growler when accelerating.
Down side - have a small rattle when idling. Need to jack it up and adjust a little. Put a 1/2" board under the crossmember when installing to insure there was enough clearance there.
Also have more lowend torque, sure missed that and am glad to see it back.
Corsa rocks! :rck:

what exhaust was causing the droning?

Here's the way my exhaust progressed:
Deleted stock resonators installed Blastin Bob’s 11db tail pipes.
Big drone between 2-2.5K. When accelerating you could hear me coming from a good 1/2 mile away or more.
Dynatech LT headers installed.
Drone increased through same RPM range. Of course big jump in HP.
Deleted stock suitcase mufflers installed DynoMax Ultra Flow X muffler.
Slight decrease in drone, same RPM range. Also lost low end torque.
Currently - Corsa’s installed, all stock/add-ons deleted.
Drone gone, not much idle growl, acceleration growl sounds just right. You can probably hear me coming from 1/2 mile, it’s doesn’t sound like a NASCAR. Also low end torque is back. :)

Ok. Might I ask how you got a naked Daytona? Also - do you have pictures of the Dynatech LT headers?

Took off all the decals, door spears and badges :D
You can't see the headers from top and from the side you can catch a peek looking between the tire and fender. What kind of pic view you looking for, I'll see if I can take one or find one for you.
