I guess it is just me, but how can you find drone enjoyable? The sound coming out the tail pipes is not drone, it is the resonant frequency generated usually around 1500 to 2000 rpms that is a factor of many variables. Enjoyable to me, in no way at all. This is just my opinion of course.
I had B+B bullets on my car and thought I could live with the drone. I came home from a business trip and had a slight headache, and thought a nice drive in my car would be nice. I turned around and went and got my other car. That drone took the pleasure out of driving my car.
I now have the Borla ATAK cat back system, it's fairly loud, plenty of pop and burble, and next to no drone. Now driving my car after a few week trip of driving right hand drive gas sipping econo cars is something I really look forward too.

OP, hope you are able to get your car exactly the way you want it.
