Have not done that, but I did put Magnaflow SS exaust from the axle back. It has a great rumble at idle and a growl when you step on it.

I had them on my '95, it's the cheapest way to improve the sound of the exhaust.
I lost a little bit of HP which was discovered by my trap speeds at the track, when I installed the Corsa, I regained my lost power. The loss is not that great and on the street isn't even noticable.

Here it is at idle

Here it is from inside the car at the track.

I have these: http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette-3-119-6754.html
They were on the car when I bought it 3 years ago. Not too loud but definitely not quiet. I get a small degree of interior resonance, but not enough to be distracting. It's passed NJ inspection twice with no issues. As a matter of fact, whoever gets in the car at the inspection station seems to like romping on it to hear the exhaust. The smile on their face says it all- haha.

I had them on mine but a BBC with 2" primaries sound a little different. I replaced them with stock LT1 muffs to quiet it down a bit. I think that if you use them and leave the rest stock you may get the improvement in tone you want until you get the $$$ for a complete system.
Don't expect any real performance gain IMHO

Sound quality bites but you get an idea at idle and how nasty it can get under power

I just had mine done at the local exhaust shop for 75 bucks using the same lt1 tips, i love the sound and theres a decent rumble. All and all i think its the best sound for the money
