Default Are there any bullets that give that high pitched corsa/exotic sound?

I really like the high pitched sound that corvettes get. My current setup is extremely deep and bassy. It's an awesome muscle car sound but I'd like to switch to the high pitched corvette sound without losing volume if possible. Are there any bullet or small oval mufflers out there like that? Corsa doesn't sell just mufflers so they are out of the question. Has anyone tried to go down this road before? I'm just looking for something SIMILAR, not exactly the same since I'm sure that's impossible
Thanks
-Chris

It could be exhaust design but it's not engine size because C5's had an ls1. I've kinda been wondering if it's because corsa uses their sound reflection technology without packing like in normal bullets. It seems to keep them somewhat louder than small mufflers with packing in them

I was considering an XR-1 because I heard them on a vette and it sounded REALLY good, but then I did some reading on here with people with borlamouth set-ups and most say the sound gets deeper than a regular bullet or resonator, & that it gets a lot quiter. I want bullet/gmmg loud.

If you can get a clip of you driving or a clip of you driving down the street with the camera outside the car, that would be awesome

I have powerpack bullets which is the same thing only without the crimps. They are extremely deep. I know the crimping does lighten up the tone somewhat though. Anyway, for my new setup, I'm going all stainless so that company is out since they told me they won't make anything in stainless

Corsa sells short bullet mufflers in their Marine Division; 3" inlet/ 3" outlet.

I check that out and the 3" one is part #12100 but I tried google and couldn't find any place that sells them. I wonder if you have to call direct or if they are discontinued.
