slight drone after installing side mufflers and straight pipes

I love my new Tubi exhauste, sounds great and the added HP is true. I feel slight drone inside the car, specifically from the driver side and while idle. It is not noticed on high speed though.
Is this normal with a Tubi exhaust, Did Anyone had same issue?
it is not major but the drone is there, any solutions, ideas!

If it has a raspy note to it it may be a loose exhaust tip. I had one and it was more of a buzz than a drone. I have not had any drone issues. Did you use new gaskets?

It is a very nice sounding system.

the idle is too low, if you increase it it will go away

Tubi doesn't drone at all especially at idle or highway speeds. Make sure the rear support bars for the rear lower quarter panel are not touching the front of the mufflers. I bet they are... Just grab them and bend them out of the way just a little.

Also what x pipe did you use to replace the rear center muffler/resonator? If you used the crossover pipes that come with the Tubi package those work perfectly but they are not x pipes that merge the exhaust flow from each bank.

I also have the Tubis. No drone or buzzing whatsoever. Check your fittings as others have suggested.
