I went from Flowmaster 40s toMagnaflow on my 91 because of the resonance as well.


I posted it all in this tread:

Here is the first video.
Stock exhaust with Flowmaster 40 series 2 chamber and TPIS Y-pipe.



Magnaflow with Headman Elites and absolutely no resonance.

I must caution you, I thought they sounded great but other members have had problems with the hangers coming apart. I did not have them for long before i went with a diff set up.
If you can afford it the corsas sound great and hold up well.

I used a video camera. I tried a cell phone, but the sound quality was pretty bad.

Your flowmaster setup sounded deep.. but the Corsa's sound pissed off... ready to attack. I love that on a corvette exhuast. Absolutely love it. Sadly, idle is only one characteristic that I'm interested in when determining exhaust. I wish you had some videos of driving or at least revving.

I've been meaning to get some vids of driving and accelerating, but haven't gotten around to it. I can tell you that between the two (Flows and Corsas) the difference is night and day at WOT. The Flows sounded OK at WOT, but the Corsas screammmmmmm at WOT. At times I think they're almost too loud...................but I get over that quickly

Here's a vid at the track, but unfortunatelt its a cell phone vid and the sound quality isn't great.

And here'another short vid from when I still had Flowmasters (old engine too)

TA, that was awesome listening. I just made everyone at work come over to listen I had it so loud (engineering lab). Corsa got the overwhelming vote (5 of 6). I have 40's which I am happy with but those corsa sure do have way more mid-range and treble output. View the difference on a spectrum analyzer and the corsa just dominates the audio spectrum. The flowmaster had much lower bass tones which explains the resonance I guess.

I am not a fan of the corsa tips though. Double wall flares?
