Steve: I think you're really onto something there, as it does seem that those with non-polished versions have experienced very little, or no drone at all. Whereas those with 304 polished versions, have experienced significant drone.

Perhaps the material, does indeed make a difference.

This should give you all of the adjustment you need. Some people have had fitment issues to where that wouldn't fix it either, but this works in most cases (and this is not limited to the Violators). Also, make sure you have the hangers in right. There are several ways that they will fit to the body, and switching them around will make a big difference as to where the tip ends up.

I wonder if the wire loom/hanger locations, are different on the non-polished Violators than the 304 polished versions. From looking at the pics, the wire looms seem to be mounted lower on the non-polished mufflers, than the 304 SS polished ones.

I've had my violators for about 18 months - unpolished, and never had any drone issues. I have the Ford Racing X-pipe but still stock cats. With 4.10's, and alot of highway driving, I'm usually in the 2400-2700 RPM range anyway....so the dreaded 1500-1800 range isn't someplace I spend alot of time. Nonetheless, no drone issues. Mine didn't line up just right initially either, but I got is after some trial and error.
