heres mine, kooks 1 7/8 headers, 3 inch x catless x pipe, corsa catback. my car can fool alot of people while driving just normal. you can not hear anything, all my friends that have driven next to me love it, it sounds stock until i downshift and get on it then all hell breaks loose and its all you can hear.
these are the best vids i have as of right now, i can try and get a good video of a friend videoing next to me while cruising.
ignore the "whine" that's my rear end..... notice the exhaust is totally silent while cruising.
and here is how it sounds at the track

You can't go wrong with the corsa! I have the Borla ... below is a sound clip of the two of them.
The Corsa is the closer car and the Borla in the distance. Both of us are N/A (H/C/I) ... Sorry about the poor quality, this is what happens when someone who never touched your camera does trying to focus however, you can hear the difference between the two

Speaking of Corsas and Borlas, make sure you investigate drone. I liked the sound of the Borlas, but went with Corsas because I didn't want the drone.
I'm sure some Borla lovers are going to say theirs don't drone, and I believe them, but I just didn't want to take the chance.

I think the two tip droned a little more then my quad tips. If I wanted a quiet car I wouldn't have touched my exhaust at all but I just happen to like the way they flow and when something works for me, I try not to change it. 
BTW I'm mid 50's and the guy in the closer vehicle ... well, he's in his sixty's. It's not an age thing in your club ... we call ourselves the old fart - A4 club!

I have SLP headers with corsa pacecar and hi flo cats. After I installed headers I was very surprised that they were only a little louder but no motor boat sound. Just a little deeper sound. Most people would not even be able to tell the car has headers until you get on it.
No drone. Not annoying. Good power gain.

I love my Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust - that would be my recommendation. No drone, nice rumble at idle, and when you nail the gas pedal, the system sounds awesome.

On the highway, it would drone right at the speed I wanted to travel - about 65. If I slowed to 60 to relieve the drone, cars would pass me left and right, plus it felt I was going too slow. If I took it up to 70, it was faster than I was comfortable driving, specially considering the PA/NJ highway patrol's fondness of red cars and college kids in Datsun B210s.
