This whole backpressure issue confuses me some.

That sounds awesome!

Sounds like a big block musclercar. Love it.

Anyone tried the Flo-pro mufflers? They have some great sound clips on thier site.

Got Magnaflow 12589 installed today. I'll post a video as soon as I can get someone to let me use their camera!

How close does your tip mount from the body? Try dropping the tailpipe a couple inches, it made a world of difference on my truck.

Because people are cheap, they want the best of all worlds and dont want to pay for it. You and I both know Corsa is the only muffler out there that has no drone at any rpm with any setup. Ive had them on everything from stock, to cammed, to stroker motors and I have driven blown motors with a corsa muffler and none of them droned. The problems is no one wants to spend 800 bucks on a catback but they want to complain about the drone from cheaper systems.

corsa is way over priced, no matter who you are or how much money you have

most magnaflows are straight through, so the different sizes/shapes change the sound not the flow

anyone tried the perforated cone inserts?... they reduce sound
adding louvered glasspacks can help with drone

anyone seen varex mufflers?...they have real valves inside and the exhaust is redirected entirely within the muffler

yes, a fully stainless steel bolt in exhaust system that is the ONLY exhaust system aside from stock that will not resonate is overpriced

Not to mention it has the highest quality stainless of any kit on the market, best quality clamps, bends oh and NO drone no matter what you do. Yeah he's right Stewart, you dont get what you pay for with corsa.

Ive yet to hear any exhaust other than corsa that doesnt drone, especially when put under load.
