Stock exhaust will tone it down a lot.
On my previous C5 I did that mod in phases with the corsa first and a year later went with H/C and headers......... went back to stock Z06 mufflers and sold Corsa, got some money back and reduced the sound quite a bit.

I still have my stock mufflers (not even the muffler mod) with a mild-2-wild remote. I have American Racing headers with their catted X-pipe. The headers themselves have the typical header ping associated with them, but with the exhaust butterflies closed, the car is nice and tame with no drone.
I can't imagine wanting it louder. Stock is perfectly fine for me. And when I'm feeling frisky, I just open the butterflies with the remote and tear up the pavement. Sounds pretty good.

I recently added 1 7/8" Kooks headers with no cats. The cam is stock and I have a Super Bee MF103 installed. Definitely not too loud for me and if I want it quiet I close the exhaust. In the middle of the video (from 46 seconds to 69 seconds) the exhaust is closed.

I agree. I would try to get a set of ZR1 Mufflers.
I had my 2009 ZR1 out to Hennessey for some work that included headers and off road cats. Found the factory exhaust to work very well. Still quiet enough in the closed mode and very loud in the open mode. Might try going back to the stock mufflers. Or better yet if you could locate a set of OEM ZR1 mufflers or 2011 ZO6 mufflers.
you might check with LEAVINU, he had a post for a set of ZR1 OEM mufflers for sale
