Default bad luck w/ exhuast.

Im having problems finding an exhaust system I like. I had an older model borla system under the car when I bought it (the system w/ the removalable baffel... The system was cut all up so the baffel was gone) That was just too loud after the LTs went on since half of it is not going through the muffler. Then I bought a new borla system but it's too damn quiet.

Whats a good system that gives you that deep,throaty sound, but when you floor it ... really screams at you? A guy I knew had a borla kit that did that, thought thats what I got but I was wrong. How does the Magnaflow sound on these cars? Ive heard flowmasters dont flow well.

Magnaflow is a little quiet at idle, but very deep and screams at WOT. Not bad for the money, but I am going with Corsa just because of the distinct sound, very exotic.
