Listen to them here.... LS1Sounds.com

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "cleanest" But the Corsa sounds really good, it's not the loudest or most agressive, but it has an awsome tone to it.

That sounds sweet. Do you have headers? Is there much drone while cruising. Right now, I have B&B PRT Triflow catback it sounds sweet but the drone is killing me.

You will not get any drone with a corsa exhaust. Removing your cats should not be a factor but your exhaust will be louder without them.

stingers with lts and orx and I love the sound but it is loud and does drone at 1500 but I would highly suggest listening to them in PERSON before making a decision. I listened to alot of exhausts on ls1 sounds but ended up getting my setup from hearing it in person. good luck.
