Anyone have problems with SPT exhaust droning in their sedan?

Just wanted to know if anyone have had problems with the SPT exhaust...specifically droning. Is it worth the upgrade or is aftermarket the way to go?

being that you have a sedan you dont really need to worry about the drone as much since the trunk isolates the noise from the cabin. But the spt is a solid exhaust and fairly loud too. If you were looking for quieter go for the Milltek

Planning on adding the SPT during my 2014 order. I like how it sounds, and if there is little to no droning, i'll go ahead and go with it.

Thanks! I'll definitely keep this in mind and if it does drone, I'll go ahead and use this DIY improvement.

Ray, he doesn't have the SPT yet, he doesn't even have the car yet. He's just wondering if its worth the extra price tag from the dealership when he orders it.

rourich, try going out to a meet to see and listen to some cars.

Haha, I'm sure it won't be too bad. I just want to take precautions.

You're absolutely right. I'm going to go hunt down one with the SPT installed.

The SPT has a nice well-rounded rumble to it. Stock is even enough during low tones, surprised me when the 2011's just came in and we were moving a lot. You shouldn't even worry about it. I like to hear my car, my headerback is not quiet. Fujitsubos are supposed to be quiet, but you can open them up and make them loud as hell. Everyone mentions droning in the back seat. Im well aware of it in my front seat. But like all things, you will get used to it.
