Quiet with cam, headers, ORY - Corsa, Borla or Magnaflow? I'm still looking for a catback for my car. Basically, I have a cam and headers with an ORY. It is loud as hell with just the Y-pipe right now and I need something that is quiet at idle. I think I have narrowed it down to the Corsa and the Magnaflow. In the posts that I've read about both, the owners all say that they are both quiet at idle and loud at WOT. I would like to find a used Corsa but I haven't seen one for sale for long time.
Another option I was thinking was running the Borla closed. There are alot of mixed opinions about the Borla. Some say it is the best sound period and others say it sounds horrible. I'm wondering if the people saying its horrible are hearing it with no plate and the people saying it sounds good are hearing it closed or almost closed. The borla with another qtec (I'll have three) seems to be the most convenient option. But I'm not too big on the tips of the Borla or the Magnaflow. Opinions?
