It all depends on your ear. To me it is way minor. I think my Audi A4 has more exhaust resonance than the Magnums. But this is only on 50 miles of driving...but the HWY was the first place I took it

I have had mustangs and T/A's with flowmasters on them, and they are not even remotely in the same class in regard to resonance.

Now that you have had a chance to hear them, how do they compare to stingers? Are they as loud? From what I have heard in sound clips, it is a deeper sounding exhaust. Glad you like them,
They are not as loud as I expected. I was worried when I changed to the Magnums at the last minute, that they would be to loud. They are loud, but not to loud. It is hard to explain...let me put it this way, there have been several times over the years that after having an exhaust installed that I went for the first cruise and said to myself...Ahhh, that's really kinda loud. I did not get that with the Magnums. They gave me the first impression that they really fit the car...Does that make any sense

As for the sound, that suprised me as well. Deep at idle, (I put on a Corsa X pipe as well-via the pay it forward thread) but the mid to WOT sound was very different than the sound clips I have heard. I think it is way more "exotic" sounding than I expected. The first time I popped the throttle I think I got wood! I was back and forth between Corsa Indy's and GHL's because I liked the "exotic" sound of the Indy's, but to my ear the idle was not appealing. So I was really really pleased at the mid to WOT sound!!! Stingers are deeper all the way threw I think.

I have read that they change a little over the first few hundred to a thousand miles, so I will update as the miles pass...

Peace

Get some wood on this:
GHL Magnum 2 Tip

Between 3000 and 6000 is the exotic sound. I don't think we got that from the in car vid but I'll see about doing something for this in the future. As soon as I edit the in car vids we did today I can post and you'll hear what it sounds like in the car.

I went with Bullets for the handmade aspect of that system. It's extra $, but I like to spoil my Corvette with fancy mods...
