Do you have to pair a 3 stage with a tune to notice anything?

Here's my video with the camera mounted outside and inside.
AA headers, mid pipe, muffler 2nd Gen, AA tune, 3 stage manifold, charcoal filter delete and K&n filter.
It sounds good really good to me but you have to be on high revs all the time if not the drone is pretty bad.
I hade AA replaced the mufler but after a couple of days again the drone got worst.
My car is auto and from what Andrew told me before I purchased the exaust he told me the problem with the drone was with the automatic transmissions.
When listening to the videos you need to use headphones that way you can hear the sound better.

Outside


Inside cab.

One more thing I forgot to mention is the rattling on my car from 1600 to about 2400 rpm range that's when you hear the drone 2.

I can't drive my car in auto mode it has to be in sport so I can minimize the vibration and the drone.
I'm thinking after replacing the muffler that the problem could be the mid pipe.
Right now I just don't have time to take it to the shop and remove the mid pipe plus now is going to cost me a lot more since I have to pay the shop every time they do something.
I had the Megan Racing muffler before and I had just a little bit of drone.
Well I guess when I get back home I can try to figure out whats the problem.
