R56 MCS aFe Power Mach Force XP Exhaust

Anyone have this in their R56 MCS? Any droning?

I have a opportunity on used exhaust and really don't want any drone in my car. Just more aggressive than stock without the drone.

Can't find many reviews, but looks like a pretty well built system.

Hey I got the same exhaust used by someone in my area. I've had it for maybe 6 months. Overall the sound is a deep growl with the occasional burble. While i do like the sound there is a definite drone for me right around 1900-2000rpm and around 2600-2900. So cruising at 40 and 75 you definitely hear it. Honestly i'm looking into getting rid of it even though i like it's overall sound.

I bought a used quicksilver cat back but personally, I would never buy a used exhaust because I'm pretty sure I got a damaged one because it whistles loud under acceleration. It does drone a little around 2500rpm but overall i just use music to drown it out.

I'll likely just hold off and purchase a Akrapovic exhaust that everyone raves about. It's just the cost......but, sounds as though there won't be any regrets from sound and performance.
