Question Wind Buffeting vs. Muffler Drone

Could you guys please explain what the difference is between these. I have an 09 Ram Quad Cab and I get awful wind buffeting with the back windows down. I just ordered a Mufflex 18" and I am hoping the the "DRONE" that is talked about isn't anything like the buffeting at all. Also, on the subject of drone, do you get drone from a single exhaust? I also plan on leaving the stock resinator on. Any help I would appreciate.

That's a design feature to punish the kids when they become unruly.

To help with the buffeting, put a crack in the front window-all gone!
As for the muffler, I have the flowmaster delta 40 with the stock resonators and factory duals. Sounds really good and drone is almost non-existent. Only drone is when eco kicked in and it isnt that apparent.
