Default Exhaust with Radix Poll

I'm going to replace my Flowmasters with something that flows better. Looking for suggestions. I have stock header/cats, just looking for a good cat back.

I've got a couple of spintechs on mine. Sounds quite good. Once I finish the tubing out I'll get some sound clips up.

I voted magnaflow. You can see tru them. I have never had a HOOKER before. I dont think my wife would approve. I hear there quite loud when you really get down on them.

You know it would be a toss-up between Corsa and Magnaflow. I personally have a Magnaflow and voted for it. But if Corsa were more affordable, you would probably see more votes for it as well. Then again, a catback should never cost $200 more then the rest of the market... YMMV

Those two brands seem to be the favorites here on this board.

I love my Corsa. with my LT's and ORY it is rumbly at idle and dead quiet in the cab while cruising but when you mash the loud pedal and get around 5lbs boost its loud! Louder than I was expecting. not raspy like glaspacks or cut-outs, but a deep thunderous growl, for lack of a better term. I don't care how loud at wot just as long as it is quiet in the cab when cruising. I've never heard a magnaflow, so I have nothing to compare it with.

Cut out on the stock exhaust. Open that puppy up!

I just thought of what my exhaust sounds like. If you've ever been to a winston/nextel cup race and had the chance to hear a single car cruising or accelerating around the track it kinda sounds like that but not as loud of course. It really doesn't get that noisy until around 9lbs boost. Hope that helps.
