Some people experiment with a slide made of two pipes over one another with a clamp so you can drive around, mark the location that's right and then weld Em up. Good luck.
+1, I drove around with a frequency meter for several minutes before getting a comfortable reading to correlate where the drone was coming from. I used this frequency (Hz) in the formula and worked it out from there. After 700 miles on the "new" exhaust, drone is virtually nonexistent.
