Thats the one I'm thinking about going with. Internal X-pipe too.

Yep that's what I got.
no drone...

until I start the engine!

This must be something to do with the truck/pipe dia/length/muffler/tip combo, just doesn't work.
Maybe I'll get a video clip for everyone.


More comments on the Corsa???

Well, I bought a Corsa system. Sounds good on the computer! LOL

I did shoot some video, so if anyone really wants to see it, I'll load it and post it.

I am selling the Magnaflow system $400 + shipping, or pick up near Twin cities.

*Magnaflow SOLD*

Anyhow, I really do like the magnaflow, except for the drone.

Thanks for all the input.

I think I'll post a before and after to compare the two systems, I would have really liked to hear that before I bought the magnaflow.

It's not clear on some speakers.
If you have decent low frequency response, it is pretty clear.
Obviously easier to hear in person.
I'll compare when I get my Corsa on today.

My PC has a small sub, I can even feel it,just like you can feel the harmonics in the truck.

Here's how to get rid of the drone,
pull the shifter down to third gear and leave it there. that's what I do when I get tired of hearing it. Truck works much better too, lol but you can watch the gas gauge
drop.
