The question is do you want it or not. Both will produce drone from my research when I did mine. I didn't want drone at all, but wanted a great sounding exhaust. I chose the Corsa's. No drone what so ever.
There is almost every kind of exhaust on you tube. This will only give you an idea. I would suggest going to a corvette club and hearing which one you may like in person.

Which Corsa did you go with that didn't produce drone? This is something i plan on doing for the 2010 driving season...

someone posted comments on their Bassani exhaust. They stated there was some drone around 2-2.5k rpm. The video showed the same thing. Overall, it sounded great and you really can't beat the price either.
The Corsa exhaust doesn't have any drone and the videos really don't do the exhaust justice because my buddy has the sport version and it sounds way better in person than it did in the videos but it still doesn't sound right to me. Too european and not enough american muscle, which I prefer.

I just have the OEM NPP exhaust but ever since I installed Crazy Cowboy's kit the drone is gone 99% of the time. I leave it open most of the time now, even with the wife in the car that says the Corvette sounds bettter with it open.

I put on the Corsa Sports. I track this car on a regular basis and just love it. It pops under deceleration and when you get on it, it just is music. When cruising, really can't hear it at all. Just the best set up for me. However, it does sound a little european as people put it. As I suggested earlier, you really need to hear it in person. It cost alot less that way.

Drone WILL drive you nuts. I went with Corsa Sports, no drone and sound good in my opnion. I have a manual trans and it does make a difference if you have auto. Corsa's are the best for auto trans because of their operating RPM range and they do have the least amount of drone.

One more vote for Corsa Sports. 6 speed manual here and I love the popping on deceleration. They sound good and absolutely no droan. What sounds any better than a Rustang and Flowmasters. Damn! Why couldn't an LS Engine sound that good?

Had a close friend sell his bassani's because of droan and they were very loud. Both wear on you on a long trip or with a passenger that isn't as addicted to cars as we are. lol.

do you mean there is only a quick min that the drone is actually bearable with bassani?
My BASSANI I had on the 05 had no drone at all.The newer system has a little in low rpm for a minute till you shift out of it.It's really an underrated,under appreciated exhaust!!The price is great,less then a grand last time I looked and the quality is superior and it looks good too!

I have Borla Touring on my '07 A-6 with longtubes and cats and they drone at crusing speed 1000 to 1500 RPM in 6th gear. You can paddle down to 5th and the drone is gone but at the expense of gas mileage.
