Your'e only going to get drone if you remove the resonators completely. The only exhausts out of all of them that I know of, I could be wrong, that remove them completely are the:

- RPi GT
- RPi GTM

That said I would said that the drone is awesome! It's about a level 3 or 4 out of 10 inside of the cabin. Where as the drone on the E60 V10 was like a level 8 or 9 without the resonators. Plus the E60's drone was all over the rev range, where as the F10's drone is only from 1,600 - 2,000rpm on the RPi GT and you get an additional drone range with the RPi GTM from 2,800 - 3,000rpm. But like I said they both sound good and is livable in the F10 where as in the E60 the drone could get very overwhelming at times. Those two extra cylinders in the V10 make a big difference!
