Have a ‘10 SS with LS-3. Have long tubes with hi flow cats and from there a Flowmaster Outlaw cat back. After 2 years of the drone I’m saying Uncle. The system I have is 3”. Looking to go with something tamer like Flow X etc. Called Flowmaster and no answer. They did return my email and recommended AT or flow X. But as far as could I bolt up a axle back Flow X they referred me to visit my local muffler shop . The Flow X is also 3” but not sure if it will match up as the axle back is most likely designed to mate up with stock midpipes. My Fm midpipes with the x pipe come past the axle more outward toward the tires where I think the stock exhaust is more centered to the axle . Any input is much appreciated. Thanks

J-Pipes is your answer. They will remove or at least greatly reduce any drone you have.

Yup, J-pipes from solo solved my horrible drone.

Definitely go with Solo Performance. Great customer service and amazing product.

I had the FM Outlaw system in my car and I didn't make it 6 months before I had to make a change. The drone on the highway was just too much.
But I remedied the problem just by swapping out mufflers. I cut out the Outlaws and replaced them with Super 40's. That was the only change I made. The rest of the Outlaw system is still on place. It is slightly quieter now but I think it has a better tone now (not as raspy). And the drone has been eliminated.

I know it's pricey, but I have long tubes and the hi flow cat's connected to the stock NPP exhaust. It's the best sounding exhaust I've heard on these cars and no drone....even with the fuse pulled!

I've had the Solo J/Pipes for over 12 years on my '10 SS L99.
NO drone ever at any RPM. Never !

Thanks for the help folks. I had to read up on J pipes, wasn’t familiar with them. Seems like a good option along with the other suggestion of cutting out the outlaws and installing ia different muffler and do some welding.

Man wish I had known this a couple years back. I love my Borla system but I think I would have got J Pipes given the choice.

Use J pipes for the drone and try Flowmaster Super 44 you’ll love the sound

I’m a BIG fan of solo! I’ve had their Mach XL catback on my car for over 7 years and still love it today.

Solo J/Pipes are an axle back muffler delete kit. Just a one hour bolt on install
and no welding. And great sound without being over the top.
