I own the 16732 magna flow system. There is some drone at certain rpm's. I purchased them primarily because they were very well priced. I have read that Corsa systems do not drone, but are a little spendy. Good luck!

...IM not going to tell you what I have because it would fall into that same self serving stereotype…Ill say this, Ive had the same exhaust for 19 years, I could sell them tomorrow for 800 dollars and buy something else , but for me there is no system out there that amps me up as much

I have a Magnaflow system on my car. I don't know which one it is by the model number, but its the typical catback with four outlet pipes. I have it on a '03 Z06 which will sound different than a regular C5. I had it on a C5 coupe originally. I also have a full header and mid x-pipe center section, which makes it sound different again. The headers made it sound much better and lowered the drone quite a bit. Sounds real good with the headers (LG). I don't think listening on youtube will do it justice. You need to find an actual installation.

I can't comment regarding any Magnaflow however I will chime in for Corsa. I decided to go with the Corsa Extreme (with 4" tips). For me, it was a balance of throaty sound at idle and cruising speed. I wanted a little more under acceleration, yet wanted little to no drone. I can't stand drone. I hate the feeling/pressure in my ears and knew I wouldn't tolerate it for any period of time. Price was certainly a factor as I wasn't comfortable dropping that much money. I kept my eyes open for a nice used system. They seem to be few and far between, but I was willing to wait. I also considered other Corsa systems, but I was pretty set on the Extreme for the "extra" at WOT. Waiting finally paid off when a set finally came up for sale, fairly local. I was able to get it for about 2/3's the price of new, and this one only had about 50 miles on it! Preference will vary based on person. As mentioned, it'll be hard to get a true sound via a video clip. Suggestions are to go to local shows and meets and talk to other Vette owners. Any that have aftermarket exhaust are typically happy to let you hear it. Different additions will also have an impact on the sound (Cam, headers, X pipe) so keep that in mind too. I have/had a short video clip of when it was installed..... trying to find it

I run the B&B PRTs, the second thing I did to my car, 20 some years ago. Yes, I like them, but better yet. I get a lot of compliments on the sound. From sitting still, too people telling me at toll booths how good my pipes sound on the highway. So that’s how I grade my exhaust. Unsolicited approval.

Slightly off topic, but I've a chance to snag a nice set of stock Z06 axle back mufflers for $300. Just not sure how much the exhaust sound would improve my stock '99 manual vert or if it's worth the $$$, time & trouble

You wont hear any difference, however they are lighter. Many with a modified engine , cam headers etc could not have a better system. My question is does your 99 still have the original exhaust with the small black tips? Are you the original owner? That system is usually the first thing that goes on a 97, 98 , and 99.
