Is Magnaflow, a good exhaust system? I have decided to the magnaflow exhaust with x-pipe for my C5, but i have a doubt that the borla exhaust doesn't stay to far behind. I need an exhaust that sounds bad ***. i'll also be getting an intake, long tube headers and ls1 edit to go along with the exhaust. 
Ive heard Magnaflow and it is pretty nice. Personally, GHL is the best sounding C5 exhaust ive heard. I dont care much for Poorla, but B&B and Magnaflow are right behind GHL with Corsa bringing up the rest.
Here's a pic of GHLs installed on a C5. Do a search for GHL motorsports and you'll find the site and pricing. (dont want to link a non-sponser webpage in respect for our sponsers)

Magazine did a dyno on stock c5 and gained 16 rwhp with the magna's. The others don't even claim these numbers. One reason the "WideOpen" works so well is the fact that it has true duals out each muffler. Yes, quiet in comparison to others, but everyone will know your running something special and when you get on it you'll know for sure you made a good decision. Remember, you get what you pay for.
I have Corsa and it screams at wide open throttle and is very quiet for me and my lady when we go on cruises. Its the best of both worlds. I dont know how much power it gave me but it was felt and the time slips show it also!

It is all subjective as someone else mentioned. I mean you've gotten recommendations for GHL, Magnaflow, Corsa and B&B. Not to mention there's still Poorla, Flowmaster, Mufflex (I believe they'll use whatever muffler you want, but usually their "kits" are Spintech or Flow's) out there still. I dont think you can really go wrong w/ any of them, but you may wanna get one other people like being you wont hear it while you're smokin 'em

I just had my GHL magnums installed wednesday and I cant get the smile off of my face. I knew a LS1 with exhaust sounded good but not this good. My advice would be to listen to a few in person if you can, then make a decision. 
dont forget to find out which ones resonate or which ones dont. corsa does not at all. borla does a little. it gets worse with headers/cats. and honestly i havent spent anytime in the others to say if they do or dont.
