Corsa v.s. Magnaflow catback exhaust

Which one would you guys go with. I have the magnaflow already but I was wondering if I should sell it and get the Corsa. It sure looks sweet but its also 750.00 dollars vs 380.00

Its like comparing apples to oranges. If you don't mind shelling out the money for the Corsa, then go for it. If only I could win the Little Lotto, I would have a pair of Kooks long tubes paired up with the Corsa catback.

Re: Corsa v.s. Magnaflow catback exhaust

If you think the sound and tips on the Corsa are worth the extra money, by all means go ahead and get it. I wouldnt be suprised if the Corsa was also manufactured a little bit nicer, with tighter tolerances and a bit better quality control. I cant comment on that however becase I've never seen a Corsa in person. Magnaflow is probably the best bang for the buck catback out there considering its fit/finish and materials used.

Just realize you arent going to notice much if any power gains between the 2 catbacks.

stick with what you have. if nothing else fork over a little $$ and get some better tips. the MF tips are pretty simple and common, while the corsa are premium..and the price reflects that.

spend the money elsewhere

Re: Corsa v.s. Magnaflow catback exhaust

Uhm gotta question for Khojo16 are those AS&M headers shorties or long tubes, because i got the stock manifolds on my car, an its sounds great with the SLP Loudmouth, but everyone who runs Long tubes an LM say its sounds like crap. just wondering what else hes got done to the exhaust thanks!

Re: Corsa v.s. Magnaflow catback exhaust

I had always heard that the Corsa is very quiet but thats wrong. Its mean, damn mean. Its 2x louder than my Borla was, but the quality and appearance is 2nd to none.

Re: Corsa v.s. Magnaflow catback exhaust

Hey i was just looking at your cousins cardomain site.. it seems like hes replaced the orginal LM restornator with a Borla? were you aware of that?
Do you think it would make much of a difference?
