I have the magnaflow. If you want quiet then this is what you want. Idle is just a little louder than stock but it is really bassy. I also have an x-pipe on mine so that will quiet it down a little. WOT sounds great but isn't very loud. Magnaflow has a sound clip on their site if you want to listen.
I rode behind a c5 z06 with borla stingers and it didn't seem too loud cruising but screamed when you mashed the gas. Seemed a little too raspy to me but a lot of people like that. If you don't like rasp then get an x-pipe to help smooth out the flow.

I love my setup but I ran the Ti's with lt's and it sounded excellent, just not loud enough for me. It does have a very exotic sound!

Just installed the Corsa Tiger Shark Touring w/Corsa X-Pipe on stock manifolds last week.
These are very quiet - other than startup and on WOT I am not sure they are not quieter than stock - virtually silent on the highway (I have gotten the "noisy" exhaust thing out of my system on past Corvettes, but my first one I wanted to shake house foundations... and did with chrome Hooker Headers and side pipes on a '72 454CID - also had the Police on may a$$ every day).
Now I am old and "quiet" sounds great. I was looking more for "better" sound than a "louder" sound and I think I got it. Very happy with the Corsa Touring, but I think most people will want the Pace Cars.

Dude, Do yourself a big favor and go to your local Corvette Club.. Members will have all kinds of different exhausts and I'm sure they will let you listen... Don't let a poll on this forum, or a popularity contest make your descision.. One of the popular systems sounds like a motor boat.. Lots of members recommend it.. You want a motor boat sound? Not me.. I have Borla Stingers.. I love them.. They may be too loud for you and they have drone at low rpms especially with headers.. A couple of systems, just sound wimpy.. Hey thats my opinion.. Like I said.. Don't listen to what people say on this Forum. Make YOUR OWN Descision.. Good Luck
