Default Which Magnaflow?

I am trying to decide on the Magnaflow cat back with or without the x-pipe? This is going on a 04 convertible. Do you guys have any idea which one I should go with? I want deep sound but not so loud it is not fun. I ran Billy Boat on my 911 cab and it was super loud! Thanks for the input.

Magnaflow isnt really the go to company for C5 exhausts. What led you to choose them if I can ask?

Why's that? I've had Magnaflow on my past few cars and loved it.

We sell tons of Magnaflow. Sounds like exactly what you want ...mellow
with a deeper note than stock.

The Xpipe smooths out the idle and low rpm sound

It's about 50/50 on what customers by

here is our Magnaflow sale

I had Magna flow on my truck and Escalade and it was a great product. I put 200,000 miles on the system with no problems. I like the lifetime warranty and the sound. I just know I didn't want B&B after I had it on my Porsche. The B&B was a good quality product but it was too loud. I was also looking at the Corsa exhaust but I am not sure of their quality.

Same system as yours and there is a slight drone around 1400 RPMS, but not bad at all. Nothing at highways speeds though. Overall, I am pleased with it Bought mine used also. seller wanted a louder system.

I have had Z06 Titanium, B&B, Borla & Magnaflow and have been a passenger in Corvettes with SLP, Flowmaster and Corsa. I prefer the sound of the Magnaflow plus they look the best IMO and align easily.
