Its my understanding my 'drone' is not helped by some of my modifications (exhaust, heavy tires, tall gears, etc..) I noticed both the banks and S&B have plastic tubes, and what I'd call irregularly shaped tubes, Bill had said he has luck in getting rid of drone in certain constant diameter, metal/aluminum tubed intakes; again this might be a moot issue if your like me and your modifications don't help the drone/performance issue...
I was thinking more of performance rather than drone when I suggested Banks, but, the drone issue could be a problem. I DO think, with work, the drone can be largely tuned out - but it may take a lot of time and "fiddling".

And, I THINK you're drone problem was at relatively low rpm while accelerating at part throttle? Anything that would raise the rpms in these speed regions might eliminate/reduce the drone.

I was worried bout the drone i was getting from the canned tunes running lvl 2 on my gryphon. I just got my custom tunes yesterday and the drone is gone! I would definitely say to go custom. I talked to Bill thursday nite cause I was concerned bout it and he took care of it. Like others have mentioned just give him a call and he'll be able to give you more info.
