I think a 18-22" magnaflow is probably what you're looking for.
Do you have a rev or drive by clip of your current setup?

I finally have my exhaust installed.

Kooks 1 7/8" headers, catted Y, and Corsa sport with dual rear exit. Despite the warnings that it would be too loud it is extremely tame at idle and cruise with absolutely no drone. In fact, if I drive for fuel economy you would never know the exhaust wasn't stock. However, once you give it some gas it is a whole new story as it jumps to life and can even be heard inside the cab over the AC and stereo.

Lets hear some sound clips!! That is the beauty of a Corsa catback, well worth the investment

I could make a clip with my phone, but I'm sure it would be worthless. My friend has a good camera we will use to make a video soon. So many people told me that the catback would be way too loud in conjunction with headers I couldn't wait to fire it up after everything was together, glad it wasn't true. Couldn't be more happy with this setup.

Just done a big body magnaflow 3-1/2 in/out today and I really like it! I left the resinator for now but If I need a little more sound later I'll take it off.

I love the big body magnaflows. I think they'd sound best with longtubes.

Im not trying to be rude or insulting but I was wanting to know, You did all those upgrades and it only bumped up horse power by 22 horses? I was wanting to do the same but not for those kind of results.

Looks more like 45-50hp to me based on most of the chassis dyno 6.2 results I've seen

Sounds like I did the same as a few on here and just replaced the factory muffler. I had a 3.5" in and our performance muffler from a local shop fit it in place of the factory and dump it under the bed (no resonator). It sounds good and isn't to loud till I really get on it. Long tube headers and no cats are next in line.
A few clips I have taken in and out of the cab.
