Thanks for the input. I kind of figured most would lean towards magnaflow with the Corsa being so expensive and also considering the minimal gains that you get from a exhaust system.

Corsa is a nice quality system but exspensive.Some people like there tone because it is unique and different than most of the others on the market.

Magnaflow will be a better value and will make more horsepower and torque due to there straight through design.

Most of my buddies that ran Corsa on there F-bodies had to run a cut-out to equal the flow/performance of the Magnaflow.

Hard to go wrong it just depends what your going for in a system.

The Corsa I had on my old 5.3 was probably the loudest non-race muffler I've heard on a truck. It was straight-pipe loud when you got on it. (There is really no muffler to it - just a huge 55 steel drum with a few ports cut into the pipe that travels through it.)

I'd personally go for a Magnaflow just for the sound...

I don't think there is any more of a straight-through design than what Corsa runs. Honestly, the pipe that runs through the muffler only has four small (approx) 1"x1" ports cut into the pipe. Two at each end of the pipe, and they're 180* away from each other. The sound waves that travel through the ports are the only things doing the muffling. No packing no twists or bends, no wire mesh...

I love the way Corsa sounds. Its one of the best cat-backs IMO.

i'd go with corsa also. I have a si/do catback and its to quiet. It feels the same as my $30 dynomax bullet muffler. I only bought it cause everyone said its a good muffler.
