best catback for a daily driver?
I have an '04 auto coupe that is completely stock. I'm wanting to change the catback. Yes, I've done a search and can't find quite what I want so please hold off on the flames. My plan is to go to a Corvette show to talk to owners and listen to their mufflers but there isn't anything near me in the near future.
What would be the best catback with the following goals in mind:
1. No interior drone with minimal interior noise (if any) over stock.
2. A more aggressive exterior tone; especially from the rear when you get into it.
3. Quality, well-made product.
4. Wanting 4 exhaust tips just like stock.
If anyone has advice/experience and especially if you have sound clips I could hear I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

My vote goes the the Corsa Pace Car system. It has everything that you're looking for. You haven't finished filling out your profile so I can't help you with Corvette Shows in your area.

longtube headers and ti's are one of the best IMO. You can tell their is something that is just a little different about the car but it doesnt jump out at you until you get down on it. Also if you get someone that is into cars they always seem to know there is little more under the hood.

I have the complete system front to back and I could NOT be any more satisfied with, customer service, attention to detail, quality, sound and
price.

I'd recommend Corsas. I'm Running 1 7/8 ARH's, No Cats and the Corsa Xtreme version and it sounds amazing. (Used to have a B&B Fusion and it droned BADLY)
1. No interior drone with minimal interior noise (if any) over stock. No Drone, Can barely hear it on the highway
2. A more aggressive exterior tone; especially from the rear when you get into it. Xtreme's are loud as F**K when WOT
3. Quality, well-made product. Corsas are Definitely well made
4. Wanting 4 exhaust tips just like stock. I got the 4 inch Quad tips
