      Magnaflow vs Corsa

      Anyone used both and have an opinion for which to run?

      magnaflow is definitely the cheaper solution :D

      Well, thats true. But how about arguments for sound quality/type. Is one less raspy than the other? I really hate raspy. The olds in my avatar is a 455 with dynomax and 2.5" exhaust. I think it sounds really nice, but maybe a little too mellow.

      for what its worth (not much) i have a Magnaflow on my Hemi Ram, and while nothing like your Olds, i think it sounds great. very smooth sound. i will be using Magnaflows on my Olds.

      it's my understanding is that Corsa is just higher end hardware, but i've never heard a Corsa system besides their website. if you can afford the Corsa, do it. i'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed.

      I'm running the 3" Magnaflow X-pipe system on a 502. It sounds great, but it is fairly loud... Definately not mellow....

      I have a Magnaflow catback on my '07 F150 and Corsa Sport mufflers on my '08 Corvette. They both sound very good, the Corsas have more of an exotic sound compared to the Magnaflow. My only gripe is the Magnaflow system is supposed to be all stainless and every inch of the system except for the muffler and tip are rusted. Fortunately it's just a truck that it's on, but I guess you get what you pay for. The Corsas on the other hand, look as good now as when I installed them.

      magnaflows pipes are 409 stainless and will rust. the mufflers are probably 304 and therefore didnt rust.
