Due to my car being automatic, it typically stays around 1800-2500RPM depending on my speed, it drones really bad. To the point of causing me headaches. What are my options for getting rid of the drone and keep that deep growling sounds while lowering the volume, ideally to the level of my stock exhaust?

Last resort would be welding my stock muffler back on, but guess I may potentially lose out on power since AA claims HP increase due to better airflow.
135i muffler might be worth a shot. Should keep some volume and nuke the drone.
