Corsa vs. Magnaflow
MagnaFlow has a new option which is essentially an aesthetic only change as it is still the same front section and muffler but now with quad tip exit.

I have qtp lt's, qtp ory and a magnaflow and my friend has slp lt's, catted y, and corsa. I love the way both of them sound, they're different, mine's def more raspy, but for the price, I couldn't be any happier. They both sound amazing!
if you are gonna stay somewhat stock then get the corsa, if you are going longtubes, cam and or heads get the magnaflow.
the corsa sounds like **** with a cam.
If you don't have them money for all the other goodies to make it loud with the magnaflow, you can always hook up a e-cutout.

Got rid of my corsa for a GMMG, The muffler internals had come apart after less than 5000 miles of good weather driving. Did not really care for the sound, exotic to me not muscle. The tips are the best though! That is just my .02 cents worth...

Good friend of mine has a stock LS1 TA with Jet Hot long tubes and an ory and it is loud. No rasp at all. I hear him coming inside my house from down the street. A little quieter at idle than my Borla but cruise sounds great and wide open is wicked. 
I love my magnaflow catback as well. I have the LT's and ORY now and get absolutely no rasp at all from it just a nice deep tone in the lower rpms and a loud powerful tone up top...And you can get it for $350 off a nonsponsered site (so I won't mention which one it is) which is a great deal IMO!

I usually don't post here, but I just recently purchased a MagnaFlow exhaust for my LS1 Camaro. I was just searching around here to see comparisons and whatnot. Many of you have offered your opinions and replied with the benefits and negatives for both exhausts, but only dealing with the external structure of the car, itself. No one mentioned anything about the value factor. Before I bought my MagnaFlow, I had purchased a GMMG chambered exhaust. I spent $850 for the exhaust with the premium oval tips. I had the exhaust sitting in my basement for a week, ready to install. I was then convinced by my parents that it was a waste of money. I refused to listen to them, however, I had to agree with them. I could afford the GMMG exhaust and all, and I had spent my own money for everything that had to do with my car, it was just my parents kind of looked down on me spending $500 more for something that would add little value to my car. So a little pressured by my 'rents, I returned the GMMG exhaust and got the MagnaFlow.
After thinking about it, I realized the number one reason people add custom exhaust systems to their car is to make their car louder and it is usually the first step people take when modding their cars to go faster. There aren't many other important benefits that an exhaust can give to your car. I know this next subject doesn't apply to everyone, but it does to me. My 2002 Z28 only has 30,000 miles. I cherish the thing like my kid. The thing is, I know for a fact that I will not keep this car forever. Once I get older, I'll set my views on an even faster, luxurious car (hopefully a Vette). So this is what got me thinking. When you're going to resell your car, do you think that 95% of your potential buyers give a rat's *** on what kind of exhaust you have? I know many people prefer for the car to be a virgin and mod it themselves. I know, I was the same way.
I'll try to conclude this in a couple sentences. Basically, if you're positive that you will resell your car in the future, then spending more money on an exhaust is pointless because it will do very little in the value department for your car. The louder the exhaust, the more of a turnoff it could be for potential buyers. If you have enough money then go ahead, buy the better, more expensive exhaust. If you're looking to save money, go with the cheaper exhaust (MagnaFlow, in this case). Now, I know some of you will say that you can just take the exhaust off and sell it when you're selling your car. Well, for one thing, the value of the exhaust drastically lowers and secondly, there aren't many people who want to buy a used exhaust system. I apologize for the extremely long post. I hope this helps you.
