Fixed it for you!

But definitely consider the TIs. Best bang for the $

Like you I've had my '99 since new. Tried Borla, AA mod and Corsa. Finally went with the Ti and it's a great choice for daily driver.

I've got Longtubes with no cats and B&B Bullets. Loudest car I've ever heard.

Anyway, I'm not a fan of the Magnaflows. I had a Corsa system on my C4 in high school. All my friends didn't like how quiet they were just cruising around, but at WOT they sounded amazing. I've heard them on C5's, and definitely like the sound.
