How many miles have you done in them?

They need (and Solo Performance will tell you this) around 1000 miles of carbon build up to work properly. I had the Mach XV, and at around 1000 miles in them, I suddenly realised I didn’t hear the drone anymore and they sounded smoother.

Bingo... Winner, winner, chicken dinner! I have the Mach Thunder and you do need to let the carbon build up before making any adjustments.

I have the Mach XV and LOVE it. It’s the perfect balance of deep rumble and screaming fury depending on the load and rpm. I get constant compliments about it.

The 4.5" black tips look great on a magnetic car.

Even my corsa axleback drones a bit at 2k going uphill. Droning does not necessarily mean resonating, and literally every exhaust manufacturer advertises "no drone" yet people still bitch about it.
Actually that's exactly what it means. It isn't drone if it's not resonance. There are a few exhausts that don't drone but do have tone present at cruise. My current one is silent at cruise unless it's under significant load.

I've had two different sets of Corsa mufflers on my car (Touring and Sport) with various midpipes (stock, resonated X, double X) and neither has had any resonance (drone). Sure, you can hear the exhaust when you go up a hill under load, but the sound comes entirely from behind you and doesn't reverberate in the cabin. If yours does, you may have an installation issue.
