You need proper muffler to fix the volume and drone issues.

I suggest you look at YouTube for before and after vibrant ultra quiet resonators.
I have one (and a Borla xS muffler) for my exhaust project, and I know it will still be loud.
After driving for a few weeks I'm pretty happy with where the car is, except for drone on the highway (esp. with the short gears, 80mph I'm pulling just under 3500rpm), would a small resonator help that? I would like to keep the aggressive volume and sound on the street, but I'm willing to cut it back if it means highway cruising is almost OEM (or at least until the wind noise and radio cover the exhaust again lol)
