Also the replacement of the N54 midpipe by an alternative one (such as the N55, Maddad or Berk Technology midpipe) and/or the replacement of the 1M exhaust by some aftermarket exhausts (such as the 1M Akrapovič exhaust) appear to significantly reduce the drone phenomenon.

If I were you, I would re-install the OEM downpipes and focus on midpipe (N55 or Maddad) and axle back (after market slip-on rear muffler) to get rid of most of the drone nuisance.
An example (1M Akrapovič slip-on exhaust + N55 mids):
