drone?
not sure what you consider 'drone' to be, but i have the x-to-roush, fully welded, and i have zero drone, in any gear. you can definitely hear it, but it is far from drone.. to each his own, either way if you didnt like it, i hope you found something that worked for ya!
I experimented with various set ups on my S550 PP from deleting the mid pipe stock resonator (suitcase) and installing a Ford Racing X Pipe but leaving the stock exhaust (loud) and then tried the x pipe with installation of the Roush axle back (very loud).
The X Pipe with the Roush axle back combo was too loud and unpleasant for my taste while using the car as an every day driver. It was impossible to avoid drone at highway cruising speeds. Changing gears to avoid drone was a hassle. I considered but rejected other options like putting a Borla resonator or Pypes bullets before the axle back.
Eventually and after lots of research in this forum, I re-installed the stock resonator (unwelded with clamps) and have been very pleased with the Roush axle back. I would say that the Roush AB is louder than stock (not much more) and has zero drone unless the resonator is removed. I sensed no change in performance from going back to the stock resonator.
No wonder that Roush does not offer a resonator for sale with the axle back.
Whatever you do keep the suitcase if you ever decide to put it back on....
