I installed a Corsa catback on my 04 Screw..It has no drone and the tone is nice and mellow. Not loud at all. I would definitely recommend Corsa to anyone.
I was tempted to go with Magnaflow but I had a magnaflow catback on my Denali XL an the drone drove me crazy. Didn't want to make the same mistake twice

I just wanted to share with you all my findings,
I installed a new SS Magnaflow 4" system on my
2000 E350 Extended Conversion-van aka. My
Mobile Livingroom.
Right away I noticed I had the drone sound, and in the vans it's
much worse than the trucks.
So I wrapped the entire exhaust with Thermo-Tec 2" Header Heat Tape
(Natural Color) and I wrapped from the downpipe to the tip including the round stainless muffler.
The drone was gone immediately. The inside of the van is very quiet, best 120.00 I spent. It's so quiet inside the vehicle no one even notices and issues. All I hear is the turbo whistle going out the back and a little under the doghouse, but the 2" wrap does the job.
After 11 years there are no issues, if the wrap gets wet the water repels
off the tape wrap. The Thermo-tec brand is high quality.
The instructions say to wrap the [pipe 1/4" at the edge. I called my friend Rick Hendrick (the Nascar owner, that Rick) and he told me to wrap the pipes as tight as I want to, it will not hurt anything. So we wrapped the pipes around 50% lap, like right in the middle as we rolled it on. We were generous with it. The van has 2 layers of dynamat inside also and that helps, rubberized on the undercarriage over Q-Pads.
If you have the dreaded drone and really want it gone, wrap the exhaust.
It also helped insulate the pipe as it's very close to the Transferflow Aux fuel tank.
let me know how you like it.
