No, I do not notice any droning and none of my passengers I asked ( motor heads ) There is only so much you can do with an odd firing engine, I am content with mine My only current self complaint is an early locked up torque convertor which locks up at @60-70KPH and drops the revs into slightly above Idle RPM ( which HOLY F/K ,IF I'm not bein a douche bag...... the MPH! ) This is simply PCM tuning which I'll get around to, for now below 80 KPH I pull it back into 3rd

My exhaust system is certainty most likely not the best, but I did my best to make it acceptable and something I can happily live with taking my car to car shows. Btw, I do run full Emissions, EGR, EVAP, a convertor, downstream O2. 'Not because I am green', but because I do appreciate a car that doesn't gas you out.
