Depending on the severity of the drone a resonator may not solve it. We had a car with bad drone and tried four different resonators and it would move the drone around on the rev range some (up or down a few hundred RPMs) or change the tone some, but it would still be there. That car we changed to a coated carbon steel exhaust, and it was whisper quiet in the car, but still balls out on the outside. Carbon Steel and Stainless have extremely different resonance properties.

A few other cars have had moderate drone and we used a Helmholtz tube on them. It completely cancelled the drone.
