No.

Let me tell you I had all-stock exhaust with Stinger mufflers. Lots of drone.

Then I added a bassani catted-X. The exhaust got a lot louder but the drone stayed exactly the same.

Drone is produced by the tone coming from the mufflers. It has nothing to do with how loud the muffler are. Drone is produced by resonance from the car's body and frame. Any muffler that hits just the right tone is going to produce this resonance-based drone no matter how loud or not the muffler is.

If you don't care about having a race car, don't go with the pypes mid muffler because that is what your car will sound like. I don't know how their cats flow.
