Fix my exhaust droning! Need upgrade suggestions.

![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
A few years ago, I bought some Flowmaster 40's (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VX2541-Performance-2-Dual-Chamber-Muffler-2-5-Offset-Center-/121171511191?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c36628797&vxp=mtr), and get comments all the time from strangers telling me how great it sounds. Well, that's true from the outside, but it drives me insane when I have to listen to it from the inside. When cruising or accelerating fast, it's fine, but when accelerating slowly it drones really loud. I'm over it, and I want something much different.
I don't want something whisper quiet.. I just want something that sounds better from the inside. I keep thinking Magnaflow, but I know very little about muffler sound except for what I've seen on youtube. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but I do not have a cat-back. The only thing I changed were the mufflers. I'm guessing I'd have to get something like this MagnaFlow cat-back to get what I'm looking for?

You could sound deaden the trunk. It should help and might be a little cheaper than new exhaust. I have some sitting in closet that I'll put on one day. I got it because my cutout has drone and it bothers my little girl when the windows are up.

Ya that sounds like a good way to start. I read online once about this cheap stuff at home depot that works great for sound deadening. Hopefully I can google it and find it again.

Have a full custom 3'' exhaust with vms stainless mufflers, no DRONE at all. They are a direct knockoff of magnaflows for half the price. Just pulled off a pair of hooker aerochamber muffs and they sounded great but had crazy drone.

mine drones but I don't mind it at all. OBX headers catless no res to magnaflow mufflers..90% of the time I have my cutout open down the highway so the full exhaust seems like nothing anymore.

I have the magnaflow cat back and kept the resonator. It only drones a little between 2 and 2.5k rpm. Its quiet when cruising but then gets pretty mean when you get on it.
I got mine from hottexhaust.com and found coupons on different forums that take like $100 off or something. I believe the member I'll_born_ss runs or has something to do with hottexhaust.com and he hooked me up. If its a different member I apologize but I'm pretty sure it was him.
