Get a powerstick from classic chambered. I have one my car, and it is definately a good sound. Listen on their website and you'll be able to hear a z with the muffler. You won't be disappointed

What mods do you have and what will you be getting? I went from a Flowmaster to a Borla because its a lot louder. And then I cammed it too 
Only thing thats gonna be louder is loudmouth but it sounds like **** if you ever do headers and especially a cam. Or what about getting a cutout? With an electric plate you can be loud when you want or not. Lots of options

And this video is my Flowmaster with long tubes and ORY. I liked how it sounded, but I wanted it louder and I love Borla. Is your Borla the adjustable version? If so, do you have the open plate? IMO, glasspacks sound like crap on LS1s. But, whatever makes you happy, it's your car

It's pretty hard to get any advice on exhaust sound for these cars on the internet. Sound is subjective; what sounds good to one person may sound terrible to the next. So even if someone had the exact same mods as you and said theirs sounded great, you might be highly disappointed with the same setup. The other reason is because the sound and loudness of the exhaust changes drastically on these cars with mods. For example, I put a magnaflow catback on my car when it was basically stock. I thought it was way too quiet. Then I did heads/+compression/cam/lt's/ory/stall etc.... after all of that it was way too loud and I had to find a way to quiet it down.

If you don't want to use a cut-out and always want to be loud (but do not want to change to duals) while using a Flowmaster, I would replace the muffler with with a 10 series single in/out and a dump or custom hidden tailpipe. Sorta like a Mufflex system. i had a custom single made with a Borla XR-1 and a cut-out in the I pipe. For me it was the best of both worlds without going to duals.
