So many choices!

Drone can be brutal with these cars.

My suggestion, you already have a awesome Titanium cat-back, keep it for now.

Invest in some long tube headers, very good power gains across the spectrum. Your stock cat-back will sound deadly with headers.

Maybe a little tuning at that point, I think you would be impressed with those 2 changes.

Welcome to the site. I have the Corsa Pace system on my car with LT's and it's reasonably quiet when you want it to be but it can scream pretty good at WOT too. Now hurry and get those pictures up!

Welcome aboard There are a lot of knowledgeable and willing people here to help you out.

From my experience Borlas tend to be more on the aggressive side. Magnaflow or Corsa will give a nice characteristic change, but not affect the cruise tone adversely. The "drone" issue happens around 1600 to 2200 RPMs, about normal cruising speeds.
