Switched to Magnaflow..
Saturday I went to the exhaust shop and had them ditch my dual/dual flowmaster 50 series dual side exit(in front of the tire) and I had them put on the biggest Magnaflow #12588 Stainless Muffler. I had it run dual 2.5 in/single 3" out behind the tire. I was looking for less resonance on the highway and cruising around and I got exactly that. I'd definetely reccomend it, I can see right through the muffler but I hear the tires on the road at 80 MPH and it growls nicely when I get on it with just a slight rumble cruising around town. Its a huge difference over the flowmaster, which sounded good at first but the sound quality has steadily declined and the resonance was really starting to get to me. Now I just need to figure out what tip to put on... I decided to wait on that because I couldn't figure out what to get.... any ideas are welcomed

Would one of the mods mind fixing this...? thanks

Do you get any low speed resonance?

I too installed a Magnaflow can on my truck. Basically an "axle-back," system. It's great to say the least. It's quiet, and is only loud at about 1900RPM and when you get on it.

I put a Magnaflow stainless tip with the rolled end. It really looked good when it was put on but now it is all stained and tarnished. I have tried metal polishes and steel wool but the stain won't come out. Don't know if I just got a bad one or what. I think I'll go chrome next time.

I had a '99 ecsb with the 5.3L and put a Magnaflow on it. At 1600 - 2300 rpm that thing was a drone monster, so I'm still kind of leary on the Mags. I know that the muffler was not stainless and it wasn't too long either. Now my new truck has the 6.0. I thought about the long stainless one that you have, but I hate shelling out $200 bucks for something that drives me nuts, especially if I'm towing for 200 miles.
Yes the Corsa tips are a little pricey, but not too many people have those. I've got the dual 4.0' tip, now I need some sound to go with the look, I'm leaning to the FloPro 2503.
