Default Magnaflow or Corsa?

Im looking into buying a catback, I have narrowed it down to two choices. Everything on my car is stock but the lid. I was wondering if anyone knows how much horse to expect from eiher of them and also what you would recommend, as well as how loud they would be.

I'm fairly sure they both flow about the same. Magnaflow would be less raspy if you went with headers. However if you've got the money go with corsa. If you're on a budget and want a quality catback that performs very well and sounds excellent I'd say magnaflow.

I had Magnaflow for the better part of a year, and it sounded alright, but it was too quiet for me. In fact, I found most people who at any point were driven by me somewhere seemed to agree with me, especially at low rpm.

I would go with Corsa.

depends on what your plans are for the car. if you stay just bolt on maybe headers and ory corsa will be great if you go head/cam , FI itll be way to much to still enjoy the car on the street . at that point id go magnaflow
