Oh well I guess. Let me ask this though. Does the drone sound indicate running lean or can they exist seperatly? I definitely want my truck running like it should, but at the same time...if taking away the loud sound is hurting my MPG...I would say bring the drone back. It never really bothered me anyway..I kindof like hearing the power when I hit the gas. But is that drone only there because the truck is running lean and/or not as it should?
The drone is only a harmonic vibration, like blowing across the top of a bottle. The big thing on the side of the stock intake is a resonator that takes that sound out for that particular setup. The reason Bill tunes out the drone is because after a while people get tired of it and then ask him to take it out.
