To each his own of course.....but man those exhaust tips on the Camaros that are in the middle of the bumper...are GAY. I just laugh when I see those things go driving by. Sorry.
I'm with "Burn EM" and I have a Magnaflow too. 1 7/8" Grots, 3" off the collectors to a FM merge then 4" back to the Magnaflow. They sound great and not loud at all when driving mellow, but when I hit it, it sounds like the world is coming to an end. Like a NASCAR car.

I have PS Longtubes and ORY + Magnaflow, sounds SICK!!!! I love it! Best bang for the buck, i get complements on how it sounds, and its not overly loud. Im probly going to do the Flowmaster Y pipe merge mod for a little more power.

i would trade my gmmg for corsa.
anyways, to the OP, i dont' think the corsa is worth that much more than magnaflow. they are both known to flow really well. i have seen both of these dyno within two horsepower of a cutout. i think i almost like the sound of the magnaflow better anyways. both are stainless as well.

There are 2 problems when seeking exhaust advice on the net. First, sound quality is a matter of opinion. What sounds awesome to one person may sound like total crap to the next. Just because someone says they love their exhaust doesn't mean you will. And you can't get a real sense of what it's going to be like to drive by listening to a sound clip. Some guys love duals dumped before the axle and they will tell you it sounds great. I would not want this on my car and if I followed this advice I would be very disappointed. Second, the sound of these cars changes drastically when modded. I had a magnaflow on my car when it was stock. It sounded good but was a bit too quiet. Then I did heads (+ compression)/cam/headers/ory/intake, and it became extremely loud and raspy. Most will tell you the magnaflow is very quiet. On a stock car it is, with my setup it was anything but and I quickly got tired of it and took it off.
Unless you know someone that has a car with similar mods to yours that you can actually take a ride in, the only way to find the sound you are looking for is through trial and error, especially if you have motor mods.

Wow those tips look good you must have the quad tip magnaflow everyone keeps talking about. I think the op and most others have the other magnaflow with the two huge pipes that look like cannons ready to blast anyone who dares tailgate. I just took that sh@t off my car on Tuesday they dont fill the rear sections on a T/A at all .

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the CME set-up, I came across 2 sets and sold both of them also. It's kinda hard getting the right set of tips on a camaro. That's kinda where I'm at with this kit. But I might be looking into selling it. Anyone have any idea on what they're going for?

My Magnaflow sounds totally different than my friends Magnaflow. He has 1 3/4" LT's, I have 1 7/8" LT's, the rest is identical all the way back. I have ~500 RWHP, he has 380 RWHP. His sounds almost identical when cruising steady at 65mph, nice and quiet actually. But when I go WOT mine sounds like HELL has just been released, his just sounds pretty loud. And low speed acceleration like taking off from a traffic light and getting up to 45-50mph kind of fast, mine sounds like a big monster, his sounds like a little monster.
As far as flow, they're the same, for all practical purposes.
