You're 16, you should be playing your music so loud that you can't hear anything inside or outside your car! 
I just want to get rid of that awful drone. I didn't spend $900 so the inside of my car sounds like a beaner mobile...
The only thing I can possibly think of is that the muffler is broken, or that the clamp is leaking....

I just installed some over the exhaust heat shield and it didn't help at all...

honestly man I dont htink you have any droning. We all know how neurotic you are about your car at the SLIGHTEST thing. I think you confused droning with something else because you are not use to having an exhaust on a car

Sounds like a bad install job then. Something is not right.

Krozi, what would really help is a video/sound clip of your exhaust from the inside and outside of the car.

Wear ear muffs when you drive.

Sorry to jack your thread. Couldn't resist.

I know what droning sounds like. And I have asked like 5 different people and they all say they can barely even hear the exhaust with the windows up. It's not like the sound is not that loud, it's actually really loud. I had a headache the first time I drove the car for a longer time.
