'05 stick with Corsa Xtremes (had the Corsa Sports) with supercharger, longtube headers, hi-flow cats and xpipe. Don't know about Xtremes on auto
wife's '07 auto with my old Corsa Sports + tune sounds great (somehow sounds even better than when they were on mine) with no drone

if you are looking for a "low rumble like a harley" I would not recommend going with Corsa's they tend to have a higher pitch sound and at idle they don't ldle too deep at least IMO... I would go with a Borla or B&B product, but then most of those are going to have drone.

I agree with an above poster that Corsas may have a bit higher pitch than other aftermarket suppliers (which is OK if that is what you prefer). I chose Borla ATAK axle-back. LOUD LOUD LOUD!!! A friend following me through a tunnel (as I accelerated to redline) commented, "If it were any louder my ears would bleed."
If you're looking for something a little less extreme you may also consider Borla's S-Type or Touring system. I think Borla generally has that deep grumble you're looking for. Good luck and check out my DIY install thread:

ARH with stock NPP's or use the 3" Xpipe and allow for a simple instal of the 3" Z06/ZR1 NPP mufflers.
you can get the entire ARH system w/ NPP's for about 2k and gain an actual 25-35whp
It's great to have the peaceful quietness of Npp's with the valve closed

I have Corsa sport, no drone, mild when softly driven & awesome sound when you get on it. More of a fomula one car sound that makes it different from all the others. I just got Pfadt headers with x pipe, no cats, this system is made in the US & quality built like no other! Gonna install soon, good luck.

Flowmasters here. Low rumble at idle and nice tone at WOT.
I have a convertible with a 6M, which is the least drone combo to own. Having a trunk vs hatch really limits drone and having a 6M vs an auto allows for more shift control when in the "Drone" RPM ranges.
I really like my Flowmasters, albeit they don't have the.normal pedigree (or price) associated with other Corvette exhaust systems, they sound great and come from a company that makes a solid product.
I have Flowmasters on my 2nd and 3rd Gen Trans Am's and my C6. Solid quality and tone. If your worried about drone, and have a coupe, then they my not be for you.
