Upgrading to APR Stage 2 yielded great results, but also introduced a prominent exhaust drone , starting at 2800 rpm, even with an otherwise-factory exhaust system. I replaced the factory front muffler/resonator with a Vibrant 17950 stainless steel resonator at the advice of "GTI Jake" (incorrectly credited in the video) at GolfMk7.com. The results were exactly what I wanted, effectively killing the unwanted drone. See this video for a comparison.
