Which catback for my Z?
Hey everyone, I need to decide what catback to put on my 1999 Z. Mods are as follows: SLP cai/lid, LS6 intake, Pacesetter LT's/ORY, 3800 stall, 3.73's, and I will be installing my G5X2 on a 114 soon enough. I want a catback that sounds good and not the same as everyone else's f-body. I've narrowed it down to three choices:
1. Corsa
I like this because the tips look AMAZING, the sound is unique,...that midrangey, exotic type of tone, and because it flows really well. I haven't heard a car with Corsa that I didn't like. I'm not the biggest fan of the price, but I want to do my exhaust the way I want it.
2. Magnaflow
I like this because it sounds so deep, and rumbly. My friend has just the catback and that sounds good, and from what I've heard it's nice with LT's/ORY. I think a few too many people have Magnaflow for my tastes though, and I'm not a big fan of the tips, they're not cut enough on a slash.
3. Random Tech
I like this because not many people have it, it's quiet at idle, and loud/deep at WOT. The tailpipes look nice, it flows well, and it's available as an all stainless system.
These are my three choices. Please let me know what you'd pick AND WHY. Thank you.

Corsa all the way. I absolutly love the sound. Quiet at idle, very little interior noise, but when you get into it people will know. People always compliment me on the sound of my car

Magnaflow, you could change the tips to whatever you want and still not pay anywhere the price for Corsa. Only way to get Corsa tips is with their catback though. I've tried already.

I've either heard or owned all three under quite a few configurations, and of those choices I'd pick Random Tech. I like the way it sounds the best of those options with an ORY.
RT is not my favorite of all systems avaliable, but of the choices you listed, that's what I'd pick.

Bassani (w/ Street Competition muffler option) sounds great with anything from a stock setup to headers w/ORY and a cam. It's pretty close to GMMG, but a little more "smooth" if that makes sense. Only thing is, for a headers/ORY setup, Bassani will be pretty loud. For someone looking for something more tame, my next choice would be SLP 2OTL. Some don't care for how it looks though, and it is pretty quiet with cats, but paired with an ORY it's a great setup.

I considered the 2OTL, and may still have a chance to pick up a decent one, I just wanted so regular dual/dual tips. I may get the 2OTL and hang on to it since it seems SLP no longer makes them.
