Default Magnaflow or Corsa???

Well, the wife has just given me the OK to get a new exhuast and I am trying to decide between magnaflow and corsa. Money is not really an issue and I have read countless threads about the two. It may simply come down to flipping a coin. I currently have a borla SI/DO but it is just too quiet. I guess I am just looking for somebody to sway me one way or the other. I am also wondering if the magnaflow will sound that much different than my borla.

I drove a joe gibbs trucks with the corsa on it and it was a blown truck. I am probably the opnly person on this site that wouldn't buy a corsa jsut becasue it was to quiet. Also they are almsot double what you can pick up a magnaflow for. how loud do you want your exhaust. the corsa sound decent outside but for $700 I wasn't impressed at all. I like my exhaust pretty loud so it all has to do with taste. do you plan on putting headers or taking off your cats later on?

The catback will probably be the only thing I will change on the truck other than adding an intake and custom tune at some point. I guess my main attraction to the corsa is because nobody around here has one. Then again, I haven't seen many with the magnaflow either. Most have flowmaster on their trucks.

Both cat-backs are good. I have the Magnaflow kit and I love it, however it is pretty quiet (A fact that I like). Also, it is half the price of the Corsa.
