Exhaust Drone Question

Mine is stock exhaust with a Corsa extreme, due to an ear problem I just couldn't risk any drone--and there isn't any. Although they sound a little like a motor boat sometimes, other people say they sound awesome. People say even with headers, which may happen someday, still no drone. I like that you can hear the car at the track. They are pretty quiet when you want to be but really bellow and echo off the mountains when it's wot. I'm also an involuntary citizen of NY, if you were close you could pop them on and try them--I'd like to confirm that combo myself.

Looks cool and probably does solve the drone problem, but with no muffler it's going to be too loud for most. Mufflers are required by law where I live, so it's also not street legal. If you could find room for mufflers and the drone canceling technology you have a winner.

Here is a video of a run I made with my wife at 2am on a dead empty, 6 lane 3mi straight stretch. This is what my car sounded like, and for the most part still does today with the new motor. I did have hi flow cats in this vid just fyi.

You're right about the no-drone aspect being a common trait, I was thinking more along the lines of these companies having more than one system to choose from.
Sound is definitely a HUGELY personal thing of course and it's difficult, at best, when trying to recommend a cat-back set-up without hearing each one first and even then, thing's vary a great deal depending on the engine size, header/x-pipe choice, choice of particular brand, etc, etc.
The best way is to go to car club meets or shows and hear them for yourself. That, obviously, can be very time-consuming.
