I have Kooks LTs, no cats, and B&B Bullets...stock cam and heads. It is pretty damn loud I'm not going to lie. I love it though. At WOT, this exhaust setup is money in the bank.

No offense meant, but the videos with bullets - the cars sound like dump trucks at low rpm. Really loud though...
I like the Ti a lot. It sounds a lot better when I put a small cam in. If I really wanted to switch I would go Corsa, but the Borlas sound cool (not dump truck) on the black car above.
Also have you thought about just doing the bypass on the titanium exhaust? Find a shop that can weld titanium and have them put a 1" tube connecting the ingoing and outgoing pipes on the sides of the mufflers. Youtube it...its a lot louder.

I put GHL magnums on my Z06 when it was stock and they sounded great. When I added a cam and headers they got louder and custom 3" pipes to the GHL's made it very loud. However, I can't stop anywhere without someone coming up to tell me how damn good my car sounds. I'm ok with that.

I think you'll find that as the volume goes down, so does the nice exhaust tone. I had GHL's on my cammed '04Z and it was loud. But it sounded really great. But being concerned that it was too loud, I put the stock TI catback on and I was so disappointed that I put the GHL's back on that same day and haven't looked back. It's loud and there are drones at different rpm's, but I get so many compliments and it sounds so damn good that it's worth it.

GHL bullets.
B&B bullets are GHL's bitch.
GHL have a full, rich tone that sounds just as good with headers as they do without. B&B's get more obnoxious when adding headers, losing some of the "vocal" quality.
There's a group buy for GHLs on corvetteforum. EVERYBODY swears by them that have heard, or owned them. No drone, very high quality. There's a thread on page one or two of the C5 general section for owner's comments.
Those catbacks are the GMMG of Corvettes.

GHL Bullets here. I tried B&B Bullets, Corsa, and Z06 Ti's, and friend have Borla Stingers.
The GHL Bullets are by far the best "I have heard", and just sound AMAZING on my Heads/Cam/Header Z06....
No resonance like all the others, Deep Muscle car sound, Great looking tips, really brings out the sound of the cam lope at idle. The CRACK-CRACK-CRACK sound from the cam at idle is so cool. I don't her that sound from other exhausts unless its a real BIG cam.
You could not pay me to switch exhausts again. I just wish I had of gotten the GHL Bullets first and saved me some $$...
Folks that have heard my car in person says this video does not do it justice. I agree with them, but here you go anyways.

I just got rid of the bullets for the nasty drone! I now have the B&B PRT system and no drone awesome at idle giving the cam a great tone. No drone at highway speeds and loud as hell at WOT!

Here are a few quick clips of my custom 3" "powerstick" chambered set-up behind my 416 stroker. It's full 3" I.D. all the way to the rear bumper.

I need to shoot some new vids as I have made a smalll change to the sound by replacing the tips with 3"x4" stainless resonator tips....amazing how much better it sounds now,,,,got rid of the resonance at 2000-2400rpm and deepened the tone considerably.

That GHL Bullet clip sure sounds a lot like my B&B Bullets. I'm sure it is a bit different in person, but both sound amazing!
Here is a good clip of the B&B
