Magnaflow was LITERALLY HALF THE PRICE of the Corsa cat back where I am!

I know a few people that have had issues with Corsa mufflers on F-bodys but at least they replace them for free. That is good customer service. I have had Magnaflow and Corsa catbacks on my G8 and there is no comparison. The Magnaflow drones like crazy and sounds terrible. The Corsa is amazing no drone and an almost exotic sound. It is expensive but you get what you pay for great sound and excellent customer service.

I love my corsa on my z06 with the cam and headers. Sounds insane!

I'd guess that "Cat-Back" systems are designed, tested and sold to be used with cars with catalytic converters. (at least as far as sound quality)

This seems to be a reoccurring trend with the baffles in their mufflers falling apart.

In my opinion...

Stainless Gibson > Corsa

Corsa on an F-body doesn't sound that great and thats all I can say about that aspect of it because I've never had it on my Formula...However, it is quite the opposite when talking about GTO's...everyone's that I've ever heard sounded awesome, and I loved it on my '06 GTO...but I sold the car and now its for sale...

I've went from Borla to Bassani TDs back to Borla and now going to GMMG w/ Corsa tips(clones), and that's as close to Corsa as I'll ever have on my car.

Borla all the way!

I had corsa on my c6 and it sounded wicked. I could only imagined what it would of sounded like with LT's and a cam. I on the fence about Magnaflow cat-backs. I hear some that sound awesom and some sound like ****. I can't stand Borla but thats just me.

On my camaro I have LT's with no cats and a stock SS muffler and suprisingly it sounds damn good! Its about to change though, I am thinking about going with Mufflex 4 inch with a 4" in/out Borla xr1 or either true duals but don't know which mufflers yet.
