I dont want raspy, just more rumble. There is a deeper throatier sound in the mornings at initial startup, now if i could just have that all the time without having to shut the engine off for 8+hours , I'd be OK.

you could have your tuner bump up the idle a bit

Yes, it sure is! I had no cats, LT's, and the Corsa Sport on my 6.0 Denali truck

I have absolutley no rasp with mine, and it doesnt sound like **** when you get on it..
it sits there and rumbles, if I want I can drive it where it isnt so loud or I can drive it where it has the deep rumble to it..
I have heard some of the others rides with no cats when they get on it and it just doesnt sound right..
You would really have to hear mine in person the vids dont do it justice.

Keep in mind that more rumble is going to = more resonance. It's the deep sounds the transfer into the cab. Just how bad do you want that noise is the question.

I really like the Corsa, it's my personal favorite. When it comes to loud, the Corsa sure isn't lacking there. They are obnoxious under wide open.
