I went with magnaflow. But it's all about personal preferance. Check out some internet clips. The net clips really don't do it justice, but unless you know several different people with several different exhaust, that's all you got.

There's several clips on C5 of the different exhausts with different mods. I'm sure you could also find them on youtube too. I hear the TSP exhaust sounds very nice too and it's at a great price. They use Magnaflows. For not a lot more than the Corsa, you can get the entire TSP exhaust from LT's to tips.
Is it a M6 or A6? That makes a difference since some are reported to sound terrible when AFM kicks in.

I think the Corsa sounds pretty sweet myself... But then again I've always been a big fan of Magnaflow too. I couldn't make up my mind either, and to satisfy my craving for a rumble I just picked up a 5' stick of 2.5" stainless from ebay for about $50 shipped and had my local muffler shop cut the mufflers out and re-use the stock tips. All said and done it really isn't too loud, but it has a nice rumble at startup and a pretty good sound for much less than the other muffler delete kits out there.

I would give magnaflow a shot. ive had it on my last few cars and love it. has that just right deep burble to it at idle. but when u floor it things get really loud. Mike @ gforce may have a car sitting at the shop with a magnaflow catback you can listen to and see for yourself if its right for you.

You will DEFINITELY want to look into the exhaust specifically made for the L99. There are some that will minimize the drone with AFM on the highway. If you have it turned off with a tune, it won't be a problem though.

If all you are really after is sound...I'd go Magnaflow...if you are worried about drone, I know coming from the vette clan...the corsas don't drone.
Me...you can search what I did...but I took the big 30" resonator out, put in a true Magnaflow X and continued the 2.5" pipe. Gets more attention now and now drone. Sounds like a dang motorboat when the AFM kicks in...but mine is tuned out now.

Ever thought of buying the mufflers and having a shop weld them in place of the stockers? I hate to see people throw away tons of money for the same pipes, same tips, and just some different mufflers. Catbacks for LS2 GTOs and 5th Gens are a rip off. You already have big shiny tips and 2.5'' diameter pipe. Just buy the mufflers (prob like 80-100 bucks for the pair) and have a shop weld em in for another $100 and save $200-$300+ over the guy who bought the "kit".

Hey I saw you a few weeks ago on the El Dorado overpass... you were going one way and I was going the other, but I'm pretty sure we both did the "camaro wave".
As far as exhaust goes, my plan (this weekend or next) is to have Brad's Muffler shop in Alvin weld in a couple of 40 series flowmasters or POSSIBLY Magnaflows, cut out the little resonators (LS3 here, no giganto res) and reuse the stock tips. Like Coolaid said above, our exhaust set ups dont really justify a 4 digit catback when we already have 2.5" true dual exhaust with a crossover tube.
