Magnaflow is perfect for me. My 3rd system.

I have SW 1 7/8" headers and B&B Prt's music to my ears vey little drone and LOUD at WOT and quiet at cruise. Don't get Ti's you will be dissapointed your trading a stock system for another stock system it's a waste. I had the B&B exhaust on the car when I bought it but if i was in your shoes I sure as hell wouldn't spend 1k plus for a cat back system for 2 mufflers and some tips(Corsa) Why not purchase some low profile electric cutouts and then yoo can control how loud you want the car. When your with the wife you can have it back to silent then when your out and about by yourself you can go from mild to wild and in between at the touch of a button.

Corsa's are all drone free and the Pace cars are prob what you are looking for.Ti's sound exactly like the base exhaust.

Don't know what you're talking about...on my modded Z, this is perfect. Doesn't sound stock but sounds pretty tame while idling or cruising. At WOT she's pretty loud! Perfect setup to stay out of the attention of he Po-po when need be, especially here in the Bay Area CA.

When I bought my '03 coupe, it had magnaflow tailpipes with no mufflers, otherwise stock exhaust. The drone ruined the car.

Thank you for all of your comments.

I opted for the Corsa's.

Can't wait to get the MA made in China off!

Let us know what you (and more importantly, your wife

) think of them.

I have MA Quadrapower with matched X-pipe exhaust on my '99 coupe. It's loud on WOT, but on the highway (in 6th) it's really quiet. I can have a conversation and hear the radio too.

It's MUCH quieter without the H-pipe. Also, my tailpipes are lined up very well. When i had the car at MA having the X-pipe installed, I told them about a small bend in the 'L" hanger bracket that attaches to the muffler on the right bank, they replaced it free under warranty...no questions asked. MA did an awesome job on the x-pipe install. I'm very happy with the idle sound and the all-around sound and appearance quality. Hope all works out for you.
