Default MagnaFlow vs Corsa

I have a 2011 avalanche and i can't decide between the two. I want the corsa sports exhaust system but the cost is just unreal and i was wondering if anyone knew the case length of a corsa sport so i know the specs and i would be getting the 18 Mags if i got them and i don't know how they compare in sound which is a huge deal to me and on sites i get to hear more corsa than i do magnaflow so i don't know how they sound and i just don't want to put something on that i can't or haven't heard. Anyone have any 18 mags or know or heard them and if so has anyone had experience in comparing the 18's vs the sports corsa. Any help is greatful and input please wright back your knowledge on this subject please

The Corsa muffler is massive, probably 30". But the sound is downright wicked at WOT.

My truck came factory with a Corsa. It sounded good stock, but when I put the headers on with no cats, it was obnoxious. I switched to the biggest Magnaflow (dual 3" in/out), and I love the way it sounds.

I like magnaflow. Mine sounds pretty mellow at an idle sounds mean under throttle. I've got headers too and it isn't that obnoxious.

Budget always comes into play. I had both a magnaflow and corsa on my 02 ecsb( only reason I got the corsa was because it was free. I switched from a 14" magnaflow( never do that again) to the full 3" corsa. The tone is definitely noticeable. It got to be a bit much, so I added a dyno max bullet Infront of the corsa, and sounded great. Eventually wanted something new and sold the corsa muffler for 300, and installed a tbss muffler. Sounded exactly the same as corsa. Exactly. Sold the truck with the dynomax bullet and tbss muffler. Corsa was just a big name, I won't run it again due to the price. My current 06 has a 36" magnaflow, and I love it much tamer than the corsa and 18" magnaflow though. Just my .02, I have a couple videos on YouTube, look up tribaltatts70 if that helps man.
