and I own magnaflow. Of course the corsa may not have the muscle car sound you are looking for, but the drone of my magnaflows drives me crazy.

Magnaflow vs. Flowmaster
Just sold my C5Z, cammed, LG LTs, stock TI and picked up a bone stock C6 and it is a bit quiet for me. Looking for some thing a little calmer than the z but want to know I'm driving a muscle car. I like the look and price of both the Magnaflow and the Flowmaster. I know that the Magnaflow is stainless and the Flowmaster is not.
Is the Magnaflow worth double the money of the Flowmaster?
I haven't see either in person but are the tips on the Flowmaster cheap looking?
I can't tell too much from the pics I've seen. I'm looking for a nice looking, inexpensive quad tip exhaust, nothing loud like bullets etc.
Thanks for the input.

Just had a Magnapack (mildly aggressive full catback system including X-Pipe) put on my '05 M6 Z51. LOVE IT! Two large tips rather than Four (which I like but all may not). No sound clips but here are some pics getting it installed at Carlisle a month ago....Good Luck! (dont mind the Borla t-shirt the guy is wearing.... they install different brands)

Yes. Yes it is. Unless you own a mustang, then you get flowmasters and they rot out in a few years and you replace them, lol. I owned a mustang ( and hence flowmasters) before. Fail. Just get Magnaflow. They are nicer, sound better, and give more horsepower. My friend had a Corsca on his LS2 GTO. Sounded great until he cammed and ran LT's. Then it was just obnoxious. He switched to Magnaflow and it was perfect.

I suggest zo6 mufflers (modded mufflers or even the mufflers without the mod done to them). Quiet or loud with a push of a button...and the sound is pretty unique. Plus it's cheap, you can find a used set for 350 on here? I did the whole manifolds to mufflers conversion on my c6 with zo6 parts and spent less than 1k including installation...i think a magnaflow catback costs more than that (1000-1100?).

I have the Magnaflow cat back with X pipe on my '06 6 manual.. Absolutely no drone at all. Nice fit and finish and the tips polish up to a high shine. The sound is a more refined sound, not kid muscle car or the Mustang like sound of a Borla or Flowmaster. Plenty loud enough unless you must have attention getting noise.....I got mine used for a pittance. Heck, all the pieces had been individually polished & wrapped for me and the guy tossed in a brand new K&N set up to seal the deal. I say go for the Magnaflow with quad 4" tips, you will not regret it...
