Ok, sorry for the delay guys. I had to move some things around with work to be able to head up to SRT yesterday and I've been playing catch up since.

I've got about 250 miles on the new resonator.

Is the drone gone? No. But its much more livable. The "drone window" as I like to call it (the rpm range in which drone is really bad) has shrunk. I find that 65-~73mph in 6th gear still has drone. But 75+ and 65- have zero drone. Before it would drone really bad anywhere from 60mph to 75mph.

The sound of the exhaust itself sounds like it changed slightly. Its deeper, which I like. At WOT it still shines though.

Im pretty confident that a longer resonator will kill all the drone, but its a question of space constraints.
