Help! Need a No-Drone exhaust.

I have a Stillen CBE for my 2012 G37S Sedan 7AT and it drones pretty bad from 1500-2500 rpms, despite their "Zero Drone" advertising on their website.

Here's a sound clip for anyone who gives a rip
The sound is a lot more pronounced than in the video due to the limitations of my iPhone, but you can get a little sample. (It helps if you have speakers that can play low frequency well.)

I have a thread about it on here, so I don't want to repeat the whole story.

Anyway, I'm doing a chargeback on my Amex and looking for a new exhaust.

I don't care if there is noise when I floor the exhaust. (like from an air intake). That is when I want noise. What I can't stand is the constant drone at 1500-3000 rpm's that I can't escape UNLESS I floor the car.

I need help finding an exhaust that is similar to a stock G37 Coupe exhaust when driving around like normal, but has some growl when at full throttle?

I've noticed people usually recommend Invidia exhaust, but I'm sort of intrigued with these resonators on the ARK Grip. Do those really work to cut down low frequency drone at 1500-3000 rpms? I can deal with some noise, I just hate the low frequency drone.

I'd love to hear an interior sound clip from someone other than ARK or Invidia themselves, for comparison.

Don't have a sound clip, but my invidia is nice a quiet with a slight deep tone.

Invidia Q300. I've had mine for almost 8 months and there's absolutely no drone on the highway. You'll get the deep growl as you accelerate of course, but no drone while cruising.

Definitely go with Invidia. I'm very happy with mine. It's just loud enough and it doesn't wake up the neighbors in our super quiet neighborhood when I leave at 5:45 AM

I have heard good things about the fujitsubo legalis r. Stock like when cruising but when you open it up sounds great.

Btw, dont try my motordyne/berk combo

Here is a video of how loud the combo is!

I think the best non-droning catback is the stock one

I didn't record the video for the sake of the exhaust. More so something to look at on cold wintry days like today (single digit temps here).

Try keeping the the gears and revs where it doesn't drone, if not try swapping it wit sumone on here or sell. I hear the stillin exhaust gets rusty at the tips anyways...
