Default Replacement muffler options

It has got to the point where the drone on my muffler delete is giving me a headache. This is my daily driver and although I love the sound, the drone is ruining it for me, especially as I do 70 miles a day, mostly highway.

Any recommendations on mufflers (flowmaster, magnaflow) that will give me the same sound but without the 2k rpm drone?

This is my car at the moment...


Edit: I did use the search function but wasn't able to find any info.

You would probably want to go for a absorption/reactive type muffler. For Flowmaster take a look at the dBx style muffler. If you are going Magnaflow then take a look at the Magnaflow XL which is their muffler that tackles the drone problem.

I have a Magnaflow with headers and there's virtually no drone. I did keep the resonator and just replace the axle-back, but there's low volume until you punch it.

Perhaps it's just me, but video from outside the vehicle is pretty much useless for demonstrating drone. I have a Borla & it does drone in the ~2k RPM range, but that's something I only detect when I'm driving it.. Every time I've heard it from outside the car (whether in person or video) it sounds great.

Sorry, I know this reply doesn't help OP. Just thought I'd put it out there...

Possibly the Borla crate mufflers for the 5.0l Ford Coyote engine would work?
