Go to a local Corvette show and ask to hear their exhaust. Sound is subjective each person will now comment on their own exhaust as the best with no drone. Good luck on your search but listen for yourself then do a search for the best price.

I quite like my Billy Boat Bullets 
All you really need to do is make sure you have a decent amount of sound insulation and you won't get too much drone.

And no drone unlike most other aftermarket catbacks.
Sweet
I added some muffler bypasses using Pep Boys cutouts and it adds IMO 10 db when you do a blast

I just installed a set of magnaflow 15713 , 4 inch tips, aluminum billet insert.
Its so weird, the forums are full of great info a lot of times, ive learned tons, but other times they are way off.
Reason I say that is I was told by many, and I seen many threads, where people knock the magnaflows for being too loud and too much drone, so I prepared myself to "wake up the neighbors" after the install, and basically.... its about as loud as the stock exhaust, just with a nice deep sounding rumble .
Its nice but its nothing of what people say, ZERO drone, ZERO rasp, just a nice sounding deep rumble.
Id recommend it strongly if your not looking for anything too loud.

I have the Corsa Indy Pace Car exhaust (now called Sport) on my '03 and love the sound. I do not have longtubes or an x-pipe.

Wont be waking up any neighbors with it.
Definitely feel a SLIGHT improvement in performance as well.

Im just on stock everything, just did the catback system, and like I said, sounds great, but nothing like I was led to believe.

Maybe it's not so bad on a stock exhaust.

I had the magnaflow 15713 on my car with longtubes and X pipe and it droned alot so much it gave me a headache so I took it off after 1 day and sold it to a member for half price and then I saw he was selling it a week later.

I'm running the TI Z06 cat back with a Vararam B2 CAI....I would really like to hear a car with the Bypass mod done so I can tell if I want to do that for a little more volume and maybe a little different tone....
