exhaust drone bit annoying

I have magnaflow 5" exhaust on 06 5.9 mega 2500 and the drone when
accelerating is a bit much, espesically when towing . I was thinking of adding a resonator on the exhaust , anybody's views or suggestions would be appreciated. You should hear the wife drone about this.

40/40 aero turbine muffler
I put this on after a 20" muffler to stop my drone. Worked but I only have 4" exhaust.

A. Cool sounding exhaust
B. Quiet exhaust with no drone while pulling

Pick one.

If you wanted option B you would have kept the perfectly adequate stock exhaust. If you want option a, you're stuck with the drone. Think of drone as that cool sound but it's continuous....

A Hushpower works pretty well at sounding good, killing the drone, but not being overly loud.
