C5 mufflers
I now have a C5 roadster with a complete Borla exhaust including headers all the way back. I recently purchased this car and I frankly don't know what allyall think about the Borla mufflers but the ones on my car really suck , although they are only a few months old. They are loud as hell, and sound like and old burnt out cherry bomb. I am looking for a nice deep throaty performance sound, excuse me for saying so, but like the new Mustang Cobra's have. Nice deep rumble but not abnouchiously(sp) loud on acceleration. What do you recommend?

HURRY and DUMP those Borla's 
Get the Corsa Extreme with their X-Pipe if your still looking for the growl but absolutely NO DRONE at highway speeds, you'll be glad you did .
Ask me how I know.......

The LS motors are a different design than a Ford motor, and tend not to sound as deep and rumbly.
The extremes are quite loud...
AFAIK the Borla mufflers are one of the deeper ones.
Listen to a lot of YouTube clips. Hitting a Corvette meet and listening in person; even better.

No offense but I got a good little laugh at how you spelled obnoxiously lol... but yeah as mentioned just do a search on youtube and you will find a ton of exhaust videos for the c5. I don't know which Borla's you have but I personally like mine. I have played around with the idea of selling them and getting the Corsa Extreme's, though... they sound wicked. The Billy Boat PRT mufflers are quiet throaty. Billy Boat bullets sound good but are super loud.
