It will be MUCH louder and drone a LOT more.

It sounds like sex from outside the car though

we had my wifes 05 with borla sport back, it was ok (to us, we do prefer throaty and loud)
added LG streets and off road pipe, and it is sweet music to us
its a little loud, but thats all personal preference
my friend was crying like a little b!tch cause of the 1750rpm drone
however to use, there's nothing sweeter
guess thats all personal choice, and ones person loud may/may not be loud/louder to the other
however, typically headers and offroad pipes will increase the sound

and when she drives the car in front of me.... WOW does it just sound so awesome
i will admit it is a little louder then my 79 TA with the motor setup i have, but only when she gets on it

Yes, the exhaust will get at least a little louder yet with a blower on there, especially under boost...plus the added whine of the blower itself under the hood.

Even louder if you can get away with no cats.

I really enjoy the sound of mine with the LG street headers (no cats) and stock NPP exhaust, especially with the M2W switch to the "off" position (flaps open).

Corsas are pretty good about no drone, so I think yours will get louder but doubt that drone will be a problem.
