Try Magnaflow Competition if you want insane loudness. Straight through muffler, if you dont mind the drone, its awesome.
Otherwise Corsa Extreme is pretty good too, a lot quieter but you can live with it daily.

I think its subjective everyone likes something different. I have Borla Atka on my 2014 GT500 and it sounds amazing.
I have the Borla Atka and Borla off road X pipe for my 2019 Z06 however it's not installed yet. I live in Chicago and picked my car up late December of 18 Just waiting for weather to Break... If I can find the video I will post it. Someone did a review with just about every x pipe and catback on the dyno and Bolra made more power them all of them and if I remember right Corsa sounded the best but didnt really make any power

There are a few things you should consider. First, do you want to keep NPP or not? If yes, I think your best choices are Borla or Akrapovic. If you don’t mind losing NPP function, Corsa is a great option. Second, although sound is subjective I think most agree the Borla sounds deeper and throatier than the Corsa. But don’t get me wrong, the Corsa sounds fantastic too. They are different tones. Third, how much are you willing to spend? If you’re looking to spend around $2000 forget about Akrapovic. Akrapovic will run you $4600-4800 depending on the deal you find. Corsa and Borla are priced similarly around $1800-2000. Lastly, none of these three systems drone. I have no experience with BB Fusion but I’ve read it does not drone with flaps closed. I had the BB Bullets on my C6Z and I will never make that mistake again. It droned so much I couldn’t hear myself think. My current set up is Corsa X pipe and I just bought the Corsa Extreme axle back, awaiting install.

LHT Performance did the comparison. If I remember correctly, his custom 3" x pipe made the most HP. The Borla was 5 hp up on the Corsa but the Corsa made the most Torque out of all three of them. Very interesting youtube video indeed..

If you are looking for a deeper tone and don't want drone I'd recommend the AFE axleback or the B&B Fusion. The Hooker systems have a nice deep tone but I can't for sure if they drone or not. Haven't had one on the highway. Corsa is great for drone but I wouldn't call it a deeper tone.

Whatever system you decide on give our site a shot. We have great prices and discounts for board members with code VETTE on just about everything.

Yep Magnaflow comps and x pipe and wow that's how a corvette should sound. NPP function is there but valves don't quiet it down at all.

I agree with the BillyBoat Fusion. I love mine. It is great to still have the NPP dual exhaust option. Sounds great when it's open and I'm on the gas. The ONLY time I notice any drone is if I'm kinda slow on the highway in 7th gear, like 70 to 75mph. If I'm cruising like that sometimes I just switch it to STEALTH and it is silent.

Also, the Speedway tips are by far the best looking around.
