The Cat back you choose makes the difference in loudness.
I dunno, I just got done listening to a dozen different exhaust setups on LS1sounds.com and the stuff with catted ypipes sound just as loud and obnoxious as the others. I guess I'm a sissy but I don't want that much attention and I enjoy listening to the stereo. I like the sound of my Corsa as it is, but I know adding headers with a cam would give me about 50-60 hp.... decisions decisions....

Well romp on it and your gonna hear it. Its a friggin V-8. If you want power its gonna make noise. You cant get around that. Maybe a turbo is your best option, depending on which one you could be semi quiet. But then that whistle .... dont want to interrup your tunes.. give me a break. How loud do you think it is in the car?!? My tunes are fine and I dont need to turn them up over the exaust.
