Default Exhaust help, Pls !!

Hello,

I have had a stock exhaust + Borla stingers, which sounded Ok but not really loud enough, then added a catted X-pipe to the system. I really like the sound now, BUT: Now has more drone and I hate it. B4, it had some drone, but all below 2200 RPM which was OK since I have 4.10's and I'm most always at higher rev's than that anyways.
Now the drone happens at two seperate RPM ranges, and is really annoying.
So, now not sure whether to leave the stingers on and go for another type of mid-pipe, or ditch the stingers for a different type of axle-back?
To be clear, what I want is as low tone as possible, maybe more volume still, and NO DRONE !
I would like to keep the X pipe, if I could find an axle-back with deep tone and no drone.( Not Corsa's though too expensive)
Opinions please !

thanks a bunch,
-Ken

High flow cats + sound deadening n trunk and on the back of the rear seats makes a huge difference

Also, boom-tubes and pipe-bombs is about the same thing right?


sorry but I got to ask lots of questions, lots of troubles trying to get this exhaust to sound how I want it.

Dude I have changed my exhaust at least 3 times trying to find the sweet spot. Everytime you add a new mod it changes the tone. Longtubes, cams and supercharger all forced me to change things out. Drone can be control via a muffler. Trumpeting can be cured via a resonator welded in before the over axle pipes. Youtube for endless sound clips.
