Suggestions on exhaust
So I am trying to find a new exhaust. My dad wants something that sounds good, but is not to loud at low rpms and idle, but screams at wot. I was thinking maybe borla's? Stingers are pretty loud right? any other options?

Welcome ... 
I have the Corsa Pace Car edition. They don't sound stock at idle, pretty quiet at cruise (no drone) and DA-YUM
at WOT!
You can hear them at www.corsaperf.com

stingers.
pretty tame during lower RPM's, but really screams when opened up. gives off an almost "exotic" sound.
go ahead and add some headers too! then you will really enjoy the sound!
either way im sure you will be happy. the only way to find out really is to try and find someone in your area so you can listen to different systems.

Please do yoursefl a favor and do this! Everyone on the forum is gonna tell you the system they got is the best,,no harm intended it's just what they like.Take this advice from someone who started going through exhaust systems like gasoline before I found this great forum.

I have the Corsa Touring exhaust and I am very happy withn the sound.
That said, they don't sound at all like the web page audio. You really need to listen to the different systems in real life if the sound is that important to you. Loud does not always equal Loud. You should visit with your local vette club and listen!
