There's a fix for that, and only requires a short length of capped off pipe.
...it's called a Helmholtz pipe.

There's a formula for figuring out the particular length required for a particular drone frequency. Simply put, it's:
1100 feet per second (the speed of sound)
divided by the drone frequency.
Divide this result by 4 to give a quarter wavelength.
Multiply the quarter wavelength number by 12 to give the required chamber length.
These chambers are pipes cut and welded into the tailpipes and capped off on the other end, creating a closed "echo chamber" to reflect back the drone frequency 180 degrees out-of-phase, thus cancelling it out.
It works. Try it and enjoy your exhaust.

No charge for this info... unless you want to use me as a guinea pig for the new design, then I'll take a set and do lots of testing
