Do you guys get freeway droning?
I have a hks catless dp and borla hush, and my car noticeably drones in 5th on the freeway. City driving is cool, but I know I will get annoyed from long roadtrips.
What measures can I take to reduce the noise?
I heard some ppl use sound deadening like dynamat and raamat in the rear cabin.. Has anyone here done that?

try this... there's a recirculate vent in the rear corners under the cargo compartment... it's this plastic hole where air is pulled from... you can place a rag or mattress foam over this and it might reduce the drone you're getting (of course remember you're plugging a hole with somewhat of a purpose)
rs*r ex-mag. no drone.

I have a 2004 WRX wagon with an ERZ uppipe and a Stromung TBE. I have the "race pipe" third cat delete instead of a super long downpipe.
The car does drone on the highway when totally catless. for this reason I put the 3rd cat back on and it improved the droning significanty. now I can be on a conference call for work and not have to mute my line.

It helped. Didn't completely remove the noise but (for me) took it from a bit too annoying to entirely tolerable. I've since done the rest of the car (doors, floor, roof) with Raamat and Ensolite from Raamaudio. I'd suggest the Raamat and Ensolite combo as a much cheaper alternative to Dynamat/Dynapad with pretty similar performance, plus Rick at Raamaudio is very helpful and happy to discuss your options. Take a look at www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ to help decide on materials.
