I have Corsa Sports and love them, but I hear they get MEAN with headers & hi-flows.
Go on youtube.com and do a search under Corsa Sports or FAsnakes and you will hear a few clips of that set-up.
Sounds GREAT to me, but I don't know if it would be too much on a daily basis.
Another Forum Member just did Borla Touring I believe with Headers and swears by them. Not too loud.
I'd try the Corsas, NO DRONE, but might be VERY LOUD with the headers.

If you have a GOOD independent exhaust shop in your area buy the #14336 Magnaflows and have them welded in to the stock overaxle pipes. List price is $125 ea. but wholesale is $52 ea. You should be able to find a deal. I bought mufflers & tips, had a local shop cut and weld for $360 total including labor.

How much do you wish to spend?
Borla or Corsa are great
B&B Loudest especially with Headers
Magna Flow most bang for the buck.
