What's up with your " i " key? Also, very difficult to read your post... @_@
If you want loud, I agree with SETc6, go with B&B bullets. Or remove your cats (but then you may have issues with emissions - wait you're in istanbul.. maybe not a prob for you).

If your wanting to save gas, I wouldnt advise you do anything to your car. Any mod will make your gas consumption go up but. I think corsa's a good start if your wanting a decent exhaust that wont hurt your mileage badly.

You did not make the wrong choice (the truth is that there really is no "wrong" choice). Removing the cats may affect sound quality -- but the big difference would come from installing headers (much louder and slightly deeper).
B&B Bullets are the baddest, loudest, and deepest sounding cat-back choice that you can make short of just running straight pipes. Interior cabin drone is unbelievable in either case, though (you need ear plugs to drive for any distance at all without going deaf). If you don't want to spend any more money, my recommendation is that you trade for some Bullets with someone that put them on because they wanted loud --- but not that loud.

I asked this same question before and I forget who it was but they answered the correct answer for best sound is no cats BB bullets, and they were right
That's what I have with LG superpro headers going in on June 1st
Bottom line with all the other issues and talk about drone aside ect, if you love and want a racecar sound go with BB bullets, there is no way you will be dissappointed. All the other options can not compare
Yes I can use my phone, just have to upshift and keep the rpm's below 1500
Here is a video, quality sucks but you can still here it

Want it sounding loud and mean...here you go...
Long Tube Headers, NPP exhaust option w/ Mild2Wild switch, 418 LS3 and a Stage 3 LG Cam.
It will be plenty loud when open and somewhat quiet when exhaust is closed.

I have the Corsa Xtreme and it isn't the quietest exhaust out there. A buddy of mine had bullets on his C6 and it was not impressed on the "loudness" of it. I say add long tube headers with a off road X and it will really wake up your Corsa. It will sound sick.

See there's 2 ends of the stick. I heard a guy with Corsa xtreme and didnt like it, wasnt as much muscle as i wanted in it. I havent even been able to drive my car yet and I love the way it sounds at idle. The 2 have a line of difference between Elegant and Cutthroat IMO

Borla Stingers for me. No drone when cruising, some drone 1400-1700rpm accelerating, but plenty of nice noise! Seems like a simpler option than making lots of other mods just to try to make the Corsa's sound good....
