After market Exhaust?
I'm having a problem deciding which exhaust system to buy, right now it sounds like a tug boat idling (I tried modifying the stock system with a bypass) I would like something that sounds throaty but not to overly loud. any ideas. Ron

I just installed a stainless steel system from Granatelli Motorsports on Sat. So far I'm likin' it . Throaty idle , muscle car sound and fairly loud at WOT.

Check out the install video and drive by. 1/2 the price of some big name systems.

Granatelli exhaust
I also installed the Granatelli axle back exhaust last weekend. It sounds awesome and has no drone on the highway. Plus it costs only $525 + $50 shipping + $60 to pay shop to install it.

I have the GHL Motorsports cat back. It is a quality system. It has a nice throaty muscle car sound at idle. There is some mild drone at highway cruise speeds. But I rarely notice it. I doubt it's as bad as Borla which I have heard many complain about the drone.

What type of music do you like?
May sound like a strange question, but music tastes and exhausts do go together. Also do you like to have a conversation with the passenger when you drive?
Most ppl are satisfied with a new muffler system, and not doing the whole exhaust.
Corsa makes some very fine muffer systems.
GHL also has a few combinations that are great. There are others as well.
No matter which mufflers you get it will be loader and deeper, ie still have a tugboat sound. but a tugboat with attitude

The Granatelli might be too loud for what you are looking for; you asked for something not overly loud. They are similar to the B&B bullets. The Z06 exhaust would be a good step up for you.
I had B&Bs and got rid of them for something more civil. I'm using an SLP powerflo. It idles nice, cruises nice (aggressive, but not loud), but it is loud when I want it to be at WOT. They feel to be about 1 step below the Bullets in terms of how loud they are.
