340 3" exhaust unbearable

Drone is a problem. I had a pretty good case of it. Muffler, H pipe, X pipe may help solve it and maybe not. I tried different mufflers including Dynomax VT mufflers that are suppose to control drone but they only reduced it 12db and it was still annoying. After my journey was done and what I found along the way an H pipe may have been a solution. I ended up using a branch resonator on each side which killed the drone. There's a post in this section on my whole journey with the problem and how I solved it. Here's a link Suggestions for muscle car sound muffler without drone

I have a 340 with 284/484 cam X heads, dougs 450 headers, 2.5 inch pipes with a cross pipe like your first picture followed by Dynomax VT mufflers, and it sounds great, load when I get on it and nice when I don't and no drone.
