3) Retain the rear muffler - heavy but no drone - quiet untill 3,500 rpm then quite loud.

I've had the above system fitted for 2 years now and my wife still doesn't know its fitted as its still very quiet at crusing speeds.....
Thanks Steve Tinkler, sounds like what i've been searching for then. The last 2 exhaust mufflers I tried both droned at cruising speeds around the 1800 to 3500rpm. Drone was horrible and deafening and my ear drums would hurt after a few minutes ending with a splitting headache for half an hour after a drive. I'll have a look into your setup and might give it one last go
