Nope. Just pointing out the fact you bought a race exhaust and complained about drone. You're turning it into something else. Have a t-rif day.

Just bolted up the MBRP Streets and..............they sound GREAT! Took it out on the highway at 70/80/85 no drone. I'm good with my choice except the tips are a bit too close to the rear valance and I fear it melting the edges near the tips.
I did this alone in my garage with the driver's side up on stands, but I'm getting too old for this, so Imma take it to a shop tomorrow, have them put it on a lift, loosen everything up and see if they can align it better.

Back from the shop and all is good. We had it up on the lift and loosened the clamps and twisted and turned the new kit until the tail pipes were centered in the rear valance. I would have NEVER been able to do that alone with one side of the car up on stands in my garage like it was when I hung the system LOL!!! She looks marvy and sounds like a mustang now 
YER!
**EDIT** The pipes settled in and they aren't centered any more. You can see the inside edge is only about a half inch away from the inner portion of the valance and the outer is a bit more. Not a game-changer and still doable, but not optimal for my liking (or someone with OCD LOL). Good news is there's no evidence of any heat damage to the valance after a few weeks of running like this, so I think there's adequate space between valance and the tips, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this though....

Glad to hear it worked out. By the way, I've found race ramps work quite well for this type of jobBack from the shop and all is good.

Good idea...wish I had some yesterday for sure! Off topic, but for the record, the colored chips you put into garage floor sealer coatings grind hair off your head =(

I don't think I've seen black quad tips from Roush for the 18+. Maybe you could take the tips to be powder coated

Yeah that’s probably the move my local exhaust shop said they could do it. They had black tips for it but I guess roush was hit hard by COVID and they haven’t been in stock anywhere
