GIBSON Exhaust on any 99-06 5.3's?

I want to do a cat-back exhaust system on my 2003 Z71. I don't want Flowmasters (although I like the way they sound on other peoples rigs, just a bit too loud for me), I hear that Corsa Touring AND Sport are barely noticable (although on my 2004 GTO it sounded SICK)... I just want something fairly deep and sporty sounding, that has a nice but reasonable rumble when I start it (just so people can tell it's an American V8), and something that sounds fairly aggressive when you jump on it. I've done some YouTube searches and actually was convinced Corsa was the way to go til I came on here and read some peoples opinions. Gibson sounds good from what I can tell... Any opinions would be appreciated! Thanks!

I like the sound of my Gibson cat back. It's not super loud at idle just kind of a light little rumble but when you give it some gas you can definetly hear it. It's loud enough to let you know your driving some Detroit muscle but not too loud so you can still have a conversation without yelling.

I decided, after talking to a exhaust shop on the Solo brand. I was thinking of the Corsa Touring edition as well because I did't want a loud exhaust system at all. Why attract attention?
The cost factor alone turned me off from Corsa...over $1,000.00 easy!!! With the Solo brand, I ended up going with their Stealth model. Sounds awesome to my ears. Not loud at all, but has the V-8 rumble that we all love. Cost, including taxes and install...$450.00!! Here's a link..http://www.solo-performance.com/homepage.asp

I wasn't impressed with the sound of the Gibson cat back. I ended up taking off the muffler, fabbing a Y pipe to replace it and running no muffler at all.
I heard that the super truck system is much more aggressive, but I didnt like the side exit before the rear wheels.
