Addressing Drone at Cruise

Hi all! Just picked up an E92 M3 and loving it so far, but I'm noticing more drone than I would like, most noticeable in 6th around 40-45 MPH anytime I'm using maintenance throttle.

Previous owner installed Turner test pipe and a Corsa cat-back exhaust. If I were to revert/replace the exhaust to eliminate the drone would I likely be replacing the exhaust or the test pipe? I've read that the Corsa system doesn't drone with the stock cats but I don't know enough to say that it's definitely the test pipe. Whole system sounds fantastic when I'm ripping around but I do get a little self conscious when I'm just going about my day.

Or does the E92 drone even in stock form and I should get used to it?

Edit: Car is MT, so it's not like I'm in sport mode and the car is holding gears longer or anything.

It's your xpipe. Check to see if it has resonators. If it doesn't, add some.
