If anyone is running this muffler on an 04.5 600 cummins? If so, could you please post if it has drone noise in the cab. I ran a Banks monster exhaust on my d-max and eventually took it off due to exhaust drone. Any information is greatly appreciated, suggestions on alternatives are also. thanks:grd:

That's funny, all the complaints I heard were of the drone the 4" MBRP made and thats why the same said complainers switched to the Banks Monster Exhaust!?!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/think.gif
Sorry I'm not answering your question, but you will probably have the drone with the 4" MBRP as well. I have the MBRP system on my CC Truck and don't find it objectionable enough to remove it. Anything other than stock will have some sort of a drone unless it's baffled to cancel this out. Then the "free flowing" exhaust is no more (at least not as good as it could be). You have to find a happy balance between too much noise and reasonable gains.
Keep us posted on what you decide on...

Thanks for the info. I may be looking for a muffler I can't find.
I usually run around 60 mph. The drone with my d-max was exactly at 60. I was hoping that it may be at least at a different point on my cummins, thus I could enjoy the exhaust and get away from the constant drone.
I am looking to do a muffler and tip as I already have a 4-inch exhaust but want info before buying. I may go with the complete exhaust depending on price in comparison.
Thanks for you help.

It may be different enough to work on your Cummins. Gear ratios and the fact your engine is a different configuration may be enough to have the drone later in the RPM range (or sooner). Just experiment is all I can say, or wait until someone who has tried it answers this post.

ok, still unsure. Is anyone running a aero-turbine muffler with resonator? I like the sound of an aftermarket exhaust, just hate the drone. My kids think I am going deaf when I have to ask them to speak up to escape the drone. LOL
