Default Exhaust Question

I'm sure that this has been asked before, so I apologize for taking up forum space again, but I need some help and opinions. Please provide your opinions to help me get some resolution.

I have purchased a set of Z06 Ti exhaust and want more sound w/o being too loud. I have heard alot of other systems that are fine, but have heard that I can put a Magnaflow x-pipe on with the Ti's and have a great sound that will be aggressive yet little interior noise.

Does anyone agree or disagree?

I was going to place on the Z06 forum, but thought that this may be a better forum, because the rest of my exhaust is still from stock C5.

Thanks to all!

Just the X-pipe along won't make it much louder but it will cut down on the popping when you back out of the throttle at higher RPMs. Removing the cats will make it a little louder. You can always add electric cutout and then you can dial up as much racket as you like! From mild to wild in a flip of a switch

The least expensive option is to trade the Ti cats for an aftermarket set that is louder. Don't bubba the Ti's.
