so would either of these axle-back systems eliminate my drone problem?
Dont have a sound clip at the moment but I have LG longtubes, hi flow cats with Borla Touring. You can still hear them but its not overwhelming, at least for me. I personally would like something a little louder but not a priority. Ill see if I can send over a sound clip.

I have not yet went the header route yet but I have the Sport 2 axle back system which is still too quite for me, but there is no drone at all.

2013 Grand Sport auto which came with NPP exhaust. Stock was way too quiet.
Without headers, yes, its a tick above stock. Headers make all the difference.

Corsa sport all the way. Have it with ARH headers, no drone, sounds good when you put your foot into in, but tame enough to drive thru your neighborhood quietly

A bit of advice I would like to add is, headers change everything. Any videos you see or advise you're given from people without headers are irrelevant. It's not an apples to apples comparison.
