Default Christmas is almost here, the list! (exhaust)

My parents want a list soon (i am 18) and i want an exhaust.
I looked into the Corsa 3.5 for my 00' Trans Am, and i would like to be noticed and loud! I am stock except for the free mods.
My idea was to put bullet in the "I" pipe and then run it to the Corsa.
What do you think? Does anyone have db in mind? Will this be louder and cleaner then just the Corsa alone?
I have looked on LS1sounds and i like the sound over a Borla, but i still cant tell how loud it really is.
Thanks if you can help!

Listen to more TDs... but in any case, you can't go wrong with corsa. If I were to ever switch to a Y for whatever reason, it'd be paired with Corsa.

I wish I could make a list, I'll be happy if I can budget aside some extra cash for heads over winter

EDIT: 2000th post, damn I need more mods and less posting

Because as soon as Halloween passes, people are all keyed up for Thanksgiving, which not too far behind is Christmas. I could see it.

Corsa with longtubes would sound nice... I would, and did go td. Get moroso spiral flows, they dont droan at all. At idle, and easy driving they are nice, under wot they scream.

The reason for the muffler in the I pipe is to decrease the drone, and rasp. But i still want it loud. What muffler would you recommend?
Bullet?
moroso spiral flows?
Other?

My spirals are great, no rasp, little to no drone (I am also M6 however). I have an idle clip in my sig, and a few others floating around on the video.ls1tech.com site.

My friend came up with a crazy, but intresting idea. get the Bassani True Dual Exhaust, and replace the muffler with two Borla ''S-Type'' Mufflers, or two Borla XR-1 Race Mufflers, (or anyother mufflers that might sound good) that would be louder that hell, and i would think it would soung great also. Whats your opinions?
The reason i said no trueduals before is because i dodnt want to get into extream custom stuff, but i would weld up this one. New Tig = New project!
