Drone-less exhaust upgrade?

Does it exist? I'd like to make my ride a little louder. I don't want an annoying drone, at any RPM if at all possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I went with Flowmaster axlebacks. Love the sound, just a little bit deeper than stock with no drone at all.

This really confuses me... I've read several times on this forum that the Flowmaster American Thunder has terrible drone.

Are there different Flowmasters? I think they have a couple of different series. Not sure though.

Magnaflow Magnapacks are amazing! Drone is very little. When you're just cruising it sounds tame but when you get at the higher rpm's its roaring like a beast!

I have Boomtubes as well. When you hit the gas it sounds very throaty, but at idle the droan is not bad at all. For those who have the V6, I can't recommend a brand more highly. This is the third and final set I'm going with. I had Flowmaster 40's first, then Magnaflows, now I'm done. I'm in love.....

Drone is very subjective to some. I have the Roush and can't get it to drone if I tried.
But I have never heard of a Flowmaster with no drone.

IMO the Magnaflows are just a little quieter than the Roush, which is probably a good choice if you are looking for a drone free exhaust.
