Help. I need suggestion for exhaust.

I currently have long tube headers, cam, LS3 conversion, Higher stall converter and complete Flowmaster cat back setup. I had the work done by Jannetty racing, and I couldn't say enough great things about them, or their service.
The car puts down 420 HP to the wheels.

The ONLY thing I'm considering changing is the Flowmasters. I'm at my limit with the drone inside the car. I've always used Flowmaster but I think they sound better from OUTSIDE the car than they do INSIDE the car.

I want a loud and aggressive sound both inside and outside the car, WITHOUT the annoying drone. I just think I've outgrown the Flowmaster sound.
I need suggestions, as I've never used anything else. Also, will I have to replace the entire cat back, or can I bolt on something from the mufflers back?

Here is my car idling in the driveway.

Is this the EXTREME? Would I have to replace the entire cat back? Thanks.

I think it sounds great from outside! But drone does suck. BTW love the color scheme.

Thank you. Yeah, the drone is becoming unbearable, and I'm just flat out tired of the flowmaster sound. The Corsa sounds a bit more old school rumbly, which I like.
I think the Corsa is exactly what I need. I just need to know if I have to replace the entire cat back, or can I hook the mufflers up to the existing Flowmaster pipes.

For what's it worth, I just put magnaflow mufflers on my stock exhaust w/ jba HF cat's and it is almost too quiet with very very little drone. I think in the near future though I will go with a corsa cat back.

Thanks for all the help. I just ordered the Corsa for the LS3 with the black tips.

From all the posts and complaining I've read about exhaust droning, I went with the stainless works retro chambered cat back exhaust. And I've gotten compliments on it's sound, with no drone on the inside.
