This seems to be the topic for the ages! I really like my Magnaflows. But if you want the big block sound, you'll likely need the headers and maybe some 40 series Flowmasters. They'll give you some resonation from what I hear, but I had them on my low 11 second Nova and they sound great.

PowerEffects gets my vote.

Headers, no cats and PE's are the best in my book.

You should have made this an actual poll.

Flowmaster sounds the best, but Corsa looks better.

B&B Tri Flo is nice also and I know someone who has one for sale real cheap. He's in Whiting, if you are interested let me know.

Are you going on the May Route 6 cruise? Listen to mine before you buy and compare it to the Corsa and others.

I swear it's deeper and louder since I got the Hotcam. There is a raging argument on the C3 forums about Chambered pipes. Tastes Great -- Less Filling!!!. Some say restrictive, the others say it sounds so great they won't take it off. IT is the BB sound.

I go for a dyno run Thursday to check my numbers, that is unless the boss vetoes my day off.

If you like mean & loud, including highway cruising resonance, go for the B&B 3" triflows. They look great & sound awesome.

I love mine except for the highway cruising when the earplugs come out.

P-Es are the best sounding pipes on a C4. Makes C5s jealous.

I agree! I had the Power Effects on my LT4 and they sounded awesome! They're expensive, but it's the best system out there. :smash:
