If possible, I nees someone to define "Drone" and "Helicopter" for me. I have a 2019 Sierra Denali with the 6.2 and factory Borla catback exhaust. I added a CAI intake. The two combined simply sound awesome. A nice deep growl which gets considerably louder when accelerating. At cruising speed it is barely noticable and I have active DFM. I have also noticed an improvement in MPG of about 2.2. Happy about that. But again, from my perspective there is absolutely nothing annoying about my setup. Hope this is helpful.
