[Z06] Loud exhausts?

I just purchased a set of 1 7/8" ARH headers with catted x-pipe.
I want to bolt an exhaust system to it but I want the exhaust to be loud. I understand if I wanted loud I should have gone with a catless x-pipe but I wanted to avoid emissions problems or anything like that so I chose to go with a catted pipe. So with that being said what are the loud exhausts out there that are still good quality?
It seems everyone on here likes Corsas. Are those loud? What about the Borlas? I also understand exhaust should be for performance not "loudness" but I really don't think an exhaust on this car will gain much power...so I'm willing to pay the money for an exhaust just to help with the sound level.

Hope this helps.

Question: I have seen people on here mention Corsa Extreme exhaust but looking online it looks like the Extreme exhaust is not made for the Z06 and only for the base model. Is this true? Is the only Corsa exhaust for the Z06 just the standard sport model?

Yes Z06 is only Corsa Sport. It's still really loud imo.

i just recently got the Borla Atak, it is nice and gurgley around 2500 rpm, and screams at the higher range.

I can't see where you are from since I'm on my phone, the best way to figure out what you want is to hear them. Corvettes at Carlisle would be an example where they have cars on display and doing installs. As others have said, cam etc make a huge difference. I have read many many threads about guys going catless and having the fuel smell. Akra's are loud and have the bi mode, love them but get your wallet out.

some mufflers I modded with the 3" mod with the same headers and catted x-pipe. They are loud.

The smell of fuel? Often times my clothes smell like fuel.

I uploaded a couple videos to youtube...I have Dynatech headers, catless, and b&b fusion gen 3 axleback. The first vide is running through a couple gears to get on the highway. The second video is a warm start-up in my garage. I like the sound of the Fusions but it does backfire a bit too much for my tastes.
