you need to turf the cannon and get a proper muffler - one that does not have a straight-thru pipe with perforations openeing up the interior.
what you have (in effect) is two hotdog mufflers - one moderately priced one under the car, and an overprices ugly one at the back.
i got a smallish (suited to small v8) baffled muffler at the back of my ma61 to repalce a lukey turbo muffler - no more drone, lower tone to the zorst and now i can hear all the sounds of the diff/bearings/brakes etc but still has nice tone when you get up it.
turn the cannon into a garden ornament.

Hmmm, wants to keep the cannon look but does not like the sound and drone.....
Three options then, install another additional resonator in the system to lower the noise again before it gets to the cannon....
Take the cannon off, cut it down the guts and open up its middle, and have baffles welded inside it, and weld it back up, fiddly and messy and the expense does not justify the effort, or
Take a hammer to other sections of the exhaust pipe and reduce its diameter in various places...... 
Is it too hard to say "Sorry but I got this wrong and you were right" ....turf the cannon for a reverse flow muffler and get rid of the drone forever....????
Honestly - good luck with it mate, its tough when family are involved....

Insert a plate just before the muffler to restrict the flow.
ie, get a plate and instead of a 2.5" hole in the middle (3"? 2.25"?), leave it solid and drill a few dozen holes in it, OR put a smaller hole in it that the rest of the exhaust.

What ARE you people on? Just stick a turbo on the damned thing - that way, you break down the noise, AND increase the power. And your old man can keep his milo tin...
Option 2: put yourself up for adoption

people EVERYONE FORGOT ONE THING
silencers(little round things with an attachment that fits into the canons) they can be bought from exhaust shops or custom made

im going with the adoption option ! ..
Actually ill do what ive done for the rest of the stuff on the ma61 - when i have the money myself ill just replace the bloody thing and say its a " gift " to shut him up
As for turbo option we went thru that too - it should have got a 7mgte or at least a 7mge when the HG on the 5me went - but instead he chose to keep the numbers matching and rebuild the 5me ....
my dad is hard to get along with when it comes to the supra ..

its an easy fix go to the exhaust shop where u got it done n tell em its to loud n they will make u a baffle pipe........my sisters honda civic was to loud,so i went bak n they had no probs doing it. they spot weld a 15cm piece of pipe in the muffler of the cannon with a semi sealed end which kills the sound do a bearable rate.....

haha my dad is so stubbon when it comes to things like that.
i tryed to tell him it's not worth putting a 5me in a Sa63 but he is determined to do it cuz 2sc's suck and 5me are pretty much pretty much free.
Silly old man !

What about adding a Catalytic Converter to the car? Would that quiet it down a bit?

It *may* work.
But it will be a whole lot cheaper and a whole lot more effective if you put a resonator in there.
