Default Improvement with Corsa?

I am currently running LTs with a loudmouth exhaust system. The cats are probably blown out or gutted. The car is just ungodly loud and very raspy. It sounds extremely vulgar and , eh...unsophisticated.
My question is: Will changing to a Corsa catback quiet things down? And how much will it quiet things down? I am specifically asking about a Corsa, because that is the catback I like.
I would really like an exhaust that is more on the quiet side.
Will installing functioning cats muffle the sound?

Thanks for your help.

Corsa will be quieter than the LM system, but by no means will it quiet things down drastically if that's what you want.

If it's the rasp you want to get rid of, either toss in some cats or bullet mufflers where the cats should be, or go to a really quiet high-flowing catback like SLP dual/dual or Hooker.
