I would keep the TSP rumbler over magnaflow. I think you will be disappointed in how quiet magnaflow is. I would either go Hooker catback, Borla, GMMG or TSP Duals..

his car is pretty loud right now and the rasp from it is pretty bad. i was saying magnaflow because with his LT's and ORY it would quiet it down to probably somewhere around the LM2

If you got the money, i would definitely go with corsa.

But if budget is a concern, i would take the hooker catback over magnaflow. I ran magnaflow for almost 3 years and it really wasnt all that impressive. Only thing impressive about magnaflow is that its stainless steel for a cheap price.

Hooker catback has a more deeper and more rumble muscular sound than magnaflow.

Magnaflow and corsa are both really nice but they are worlds apart in sound,magnaflow is quite corsa not so quite,It really all depends on what your looking for man,imo tsp duals with sweet thunders is my fav setup,but if your worried about clearance and don't tuck the duals up good it will be worse than what you have now,corsa sounds good but is over priced imo,I really like the adjustable borla,and gmmg,some say the borla is a glorified str8 pipe though ,gmmg sounds great,I guess this would be easier if we know if ya want to stay on the louder side or go quite

I've got the Borla w/ARH lt's and high flow cats, no baffle. It's loud but no drone, sounds great. I'm not cammed yet though. Can't wait for that.

^ I actually traded my Borla adj for the TSP rumbler through my buddy. He sent me $220 to get the Rumbler CB, and when I installed it, I sent him my Borla. I just wanted a new exhaust and that one was on the car since I bought it, so it's not like I lost money on it.


I've heard corsa is raspy with an ORY setup.

I went from Borla TO the TSP rumbler. If you're running an ORY, don't go to Borla if you don't like rasp. There was NO tone on mine. Was just loud and raspy as hell once I ditched the Cats.

Hooker CB has my vote. My buddy has it and sounds nice and quiet, but it'll scream up top. Hooker Aerochamber is said to be one of the best flowing mufflers.
