New exhaust for my 2000
Im running the stock exhaust on my car since the stock has pretty bad breathing, and I'd like it to sound like this 
Would Corsa extemes be close? what should i do to my car to achieve this

That red car is cammed. That changes the sound a bunch. A stock engine would sound more mellow. I had the Corsa Sport system on my Challenger R/T and really liked it. Not too loud until you got on it.

The type of CAM and the compression ratio of your engine will significantly change the sound of the exhaust from one C5 to another
I had a STOCK 98 MN6 Coupe. It had the base suckey exhaust that I hated.
I purchased an 02 ZO6 and loved the exhaust sound and wanted the 98 to sound like it soooooooo,,,,, I purchased a used set of ZO6 Ti mufflers.
Thought I was all SET!
When I started the engine,, there was a LITTLE bit of difference at idle. Nothing to write home about!
NOTHING like the ZO6...
WOT on the highway, was a noted difference but again,, NOTHING like the ZO6.
On a completely different tangent. I added Stainless Works LT Headers and their complete CAT Back 3" exhaust system to the same stock 02 ZO6.
The car sounded fantastic. Nice mellow idle and a very good snarl at WOT. The system had ZERO internal cabin DRONE!
Several years later, I added 12.5:1 Compression ported heads and a nasty cam to the 02 Z.
WOW!
The exhaust is much louder and now has a little noticeable cabin drone!
Its SICK!!!
