You said it, that is the word i have been looking for, DRONE noise. That is exactly it. I have APS TBE, it is annoying. I have never been in another Evo with aftermarket exhaust to compare though. I know the stocker is quiet as hell. I dont need that quiet.
I think i have decided to keep her at least one more year and then maybe get a S4.
Until then it will be, coilovers/new catback/ Bushur or AMS FMIC/ dynoflash tune in my future. I know i flipped big time but....

As far as exhaust, the less-expensive high-horsepower exhausts usually net you lots of drone noise. (As much as they don't claim drone.) I'd seriously recommend something on the order of a nice system + a nice Magnaflow at the end. It'd net nice power, but the sound would be much more manageable.

The MR is much softer then the GSR or the RS. I bought the MR package because of the 6 speed and I needed something that I was not going to mod that much that I could still take customers out in. The MR seemed much softer when I test drove the two cars on Michigan’s **** *** roads.
but more payment sucks.
