I have not had a magnaflow exhasut but have heard them and seen them in person... and let me tell you what a well made system it is! Very Deep muscle car type sound but not that loud but loud enough for most non extreme corvette owners... Also they look amazing in person

Bought mine from Corvette Garage a forum member. Cost $819.99 plus $ 37.31 shipping - Best price I could find back in August.

www.corvettegarage.com

I already had a corsa X pipe, and installed with that in place. For the first 300 miles I thought that the Magnaflows were very quiet. I had taken off a set of B&B PRT's.

After about 300 miles it started to burn in, and now after about 500 miles the system sounds great !!!!

Nice low rumble at idle ( not too loud ) and a great deep V8 sound at WOT. They pop alittle bit on de-excelleration, but not as bad as the PRT's. I took a trip to Sandwich yesterday via 495 and they sound really nice in sixth gear at about 75 or 80 mph.

Hope you like them if you decide to buy !!!

Used to have a set. I had their x-pipe as well. Now I have the Ti's. Extrremely well-built but heavy. Sound is awesome, low V8 rumble. High-quality sound. A bit louder than the Ti's but not much. Got mine from LAPD in '01 so I don't know where best pricing is nowadays. Here's a website I did with pics and a couple of vids before my heads/cam.

I also purchased mine from LAPD. The sound is low and mellow. Great for an everyday driver. If you're looking for loud, this is not the system for you. There is a bit of resonance at about 1500 -1800 rpm. I only really notice it in 6th gear and I lightly touch the gas.
