Damn, I don't think there is such a thing. If the motorboat sound at idle is what's bothering you, an xpipe to replace the H pipe will smooth out the exhaust and just might quiet the overall exhaust just a bit but not by much. If anything, what you are hearing with the stock exhaust is the noise from the engine.

I remember back when I was totally stock, I could hear every little ping and piston slap in the engine. Now, all I hear is cam lope and rumble.

Corsa Touring with an x-pipe is quieter than stock except when you floor it.
