For OEM-like quality and no drone, go with the Callaway Honker CAI and a Corsa catback. You can get the Corsas in various models and loudness levels. It helps if you decide up front if you want headers or not. If you do, or think you do, then perhaps get one of the quieter Corsa models. Headers + a loud catback can equal pretty loud. OTOH, if you get one of the quiet Corsas and keep stock manifolds, it's not very different from stock, so then you might look at a louder Corsa.
I'm not up on C6 headers, look in the C6 forum on CorvetteForum.com for lots of views. Based on who makes good C5 stuff, I'd be looking at LG Motorsports and American Racing.
You might want to attend one or more of the cruises or shows and hear and see some other cars with similar mods. That can be especially helpful when choosing an exhaust. It's a fairly expensive purchase and you want to be happy with the sound.
