1. Did you use copper gasket rtv on all the slip fits?

2. Are the connections tight?

3. Are the mufflers installed the right direction? The S tube mufflers use a louvered core, so they cannot be installed both ways.

4. Are the tips out as far away from the cab as they can be?

If all of those things check out, it could just be normal. Drone is a very subjective term. The SW exhaust is an aggressive sounding system. Add the headers and You will hear it inside the cab. Drone, rattling, vibration, resonance, etc are undesirable but to be expected to some extent with an aggressive exhaust system. I would recommend installing a resonator if you're still unhappy with the amount of drone/resonance.

I will check all that at local shop and some recommendations for the resonator?
where is the good point to put it on?

I wouldn't think so but that is hanging really low. You sure you didn't lose a hanger?

Something definitely isn't right there. The tips should be higher, level, and either flush or slightly protruding from the edge of the bumper. I'd question the rest of the installation too after seeing that. Also, it's too close to the spare tire. It looks like the shop didn't position the tailpipes correctly, they forgot a hanger, or they didn't tighten the hanger all the way and the system dropped down.

Actually, the tips are moving a little bit but not noticeable.
Does anyone has a picture for the tailpipes on the right position. I probably need one to bring it to the shop.

Is it just resonating at certain rpm's and then stop. I have the S tubes and it is loud.

It looks like something is missing on the clamp after the muffler.
Can wrong position of tailpipes cause a drone in the cab?
