Default Which catbacks have the least drone?

Hello. I recently purchased a 2000 Black GT and have been researching (and listening to) a lot of exhaust setups. So far for a catback I am leaning towards the Flowmaster 40's or the Borla Stingers but I am concerned about how they drone on the highway. Do these setups drone badly? If so what would you recommend for an aggressive sound that doesn't drone excessively?

I was also thinking of doing this catted x-pipe as well, thoughts?

I'd like to stay emissions legal here in MD. I'm new to the Mustang community having owned two Camaros before this car, but I'm already loving the car. Any input is appreciated.

My pypes violators have no drone at all yet very loud at WOT.

Dronemaster 40s and borla stingers drone very bad. So bad you will get sleepy on long trips.

It seems that there are mixed opinions on the Stingers drone. I suppose it is subjective but I do go on 4 hour trips here and there and I know I'd hate it if it were bad.

Any thoughts on the SLP catted x? It was much less expensive than the bassani but I'm not sure about the quality or sound.
