Default Best exhaust for cammed LT1

Yeah, I know so many threads have been made about this topic and blah blah blah, but all of them are guys who have stock motor LT1s. I drove my car on the main road for the first time with the new cam and holy baby jesus, I can't eve hear myself think! I know if I'm in town, I WILL get pulled over. So it still needs to be loud, but have good tone, and no rasp. When at like 2500rpm+ it gets so raspy, like ugly sounding raspy.

And I checked youtube already, those videos don't cut it and I trust your opinions more than those videos.

What are you using for the exhaust now, in order to make so much noise. A 383 shouldn't be much noisier than a 350.

Headers and straights sounded great when it was stock lol and it sounds beast at an idle, but oh man when you get on it...lol I'll look into corsa, thanks.
