I have Corsa touring and Kooks and it sounds great. No drone what so ever, very quiet at highway, nice idle and plenty loud on wot.
I have this combo on a convertible which allows the most noise in and it sounds very nice, you can hold a conversation at any time.

I have melrose headers and Corsa pace exhaust. It is a tad loud for my taste. I think the touring version would be just right with headers but its a matter of personal preference.

I forgot to add... cruising and highway driving are quiet even in a convertible. 1/2, 3/4 & WOT runs with the windows and top up are loud... With the top down its like NASCAR!

Fun LS1,. I bought my Corsa Pace exhaust with standards tips April of last year for from an online mail order place in California for $900 shipped. I can't find the receipt at the moment or I'd give you the web address. Was delivered in about a week. When I find it I'll post it.

This is the exact setup that I have and I love it. The sound is great and not overbearing. Idle is mellow, when you step on the gas it sounds agressive but not repulsive. WOT sounds like a big 4 barrel carb with no air cleaner on it. I say

I have the Corsa Touring with Supermaxx Dynatech headers w/ HF cats and x-pipe on my LS1 2000 Coupe! Super quiet at cruise, screams loud enough for me at WOT!

PACE !!!! If you like the sound of an indy race car at wot
It sounds more exotic at idle and wot than say a muscle car however i think it properly matches the c5 as it is a super car and not a hot rod.

I have the Corsa Pace and AR Headers combo as well. The touring have the same overall sound as the Indy's but they are not as loud at cruise but will definitely scream at WOT. I would heartily suggest getting a listen from somone before you buy. I love the way the combo sounds, but it certainly isn't for everyone.

Have the same combo and wouldn't change a thing. VERY civil just driving around......easy to have a conversation. When you romp on it>>WOW!

I have the Corsa Touring and AR Headers. Sorry, I don't have a vid. 
Nice rumble on start up. Mild at idle. Cruise sounds exotic. WOT screams of power. When driving in the city there are rare times (low rpms and high load) when (inside the car) it can sound a little "motorboaty" (new word ). However, that's on the inside of the car. It never sounds like a motorboat outside of the car. Outside it sounds more like an indy race car. I love this combo.
