If you want something civilized go with Corsa Extremes. Prrrrrrfect.

I agree with all of the above. I wanted something I could hear, but without drone. I put XSPower long tubes, XSPower Catless X Pipe, and TI's on my stock 02. Gained some horse power, lost some weight, and the sound is stunning.

Have this system on my '03 AE Coupe and love it! No drone on the highway but sounds great when you jump on it.

Z06 titanium and an x-pipe.

Add in headers and free-flow cats and you'll have a great combo.

Thanks guys for all of the comments. I haven't been able to hear any "live" yet (I'll try to hit some car shows soon - I'm a couple hours east of Dallas) but I did go to YouTube. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of sound/video clips to listen to. After listening to many, and doing research on this forum, I've decided to go with the Corsa Touring. I know many people said they've removed them because they sound like stock but that's what I want. I live in a nice neighborhood and don't want to upset my neighbors coming in and out. Also, from the sound clips I've listened to, when you stand on the throttle it sounds much more aggressive than stock. All what I've been looking for.

Thanks again for the help!
