Default magnaflow to corsa? good idea?

To start off there are alot of dif questions in this so im saying sorry for it now lol.

currently i have stock manifolds and y with my magnaflow, i love the way it sounds "most of the time" with my a4 z28 but lately i cant stand how my cannon tips look with the ss spoiler on there idk maybe they need to be adjusted to look right but i loved them when i had the z28 spoiler but now they have just been bugging me lately. also the magnaflow is way to quiet for my taste at times and it seems like there is an annoying drone when im holding the throttle accelorating at 1500 rpm. it sounds like there is a leak where the over axle connects to the muffler could this be causing the slight drone?


I plan on getting lt's and catted y(to pass inspection) and i think that sounds great with magnaflow but just doesnt seem to have that throaty sound i like at idle. how much louder is the corsa over magnaflow ? i have seen videos of just corsa with manifolds and sounds great just havent seen any good clips of corsa with LT's how does that sound? so should i just save up and get corsa exhaust or keep the magnaflow and try and fix the exhaust leak(hopefuly getting rid of the drone) and try to find some corsa tips and replace the cannon tips with those?

depends on if you want to dump roughly 800 on a cb. i figure you could get like 200 for yours and the corsa system is about 1k new. i think it sounds good but i like my magnaflow better.

i had a corsa with longtubes and offroad y. sounded MEAN but was WAY too loud for daily driving. so i went back to my hooker catback to tame it up. everytime i try a new catback i always go back to the hooker lol

I personally would just stick with the magnaflow. If I spent that kind of money, I would get the new powerflo.

Corsa doesn't start getting me into trouble until 3000rpm, so around town as a summer daily I don't have any problems (<3000). Sounds great all around, amazing at wot. I went for it after listening to all of ls1sounds.com clips and my friends ta with a magnaflow and longtubes. No regrets. Just compliments from the younger generations, older guys especially in my office say its too loud for them but it gets them thinking back to their 20's...

this is the only video i have currently, its really not loud at all and i like that. cruising on the freeway around town i can still hear myself think and at wot it screams. best of both worlds.

watching ur video again made me fall in love with the sound again and also that my tips need to be adjusted big time. they are almost slanted upwards and very close to my bumper, i may have to do some adjusting tonight.

i would stick with the magnaflow, get some hearders, the catted y, and some new tips. Youll save a lot of money buying new tips over buying an overpriced catback! Here is a clip of my car, its an off road y but here it is anyway.
