Im getting the LS3 motor with my car and I am wondering what exhaust would be best for performance Corsa or MagnaFlow? Any tips?

I have heard a lot of ppl tell me the same thing about MagnaFlow. Unfortunately sound isn't what Im really looking for but I want best performance. A lot of older guys at car shows are telling me to go with Corsa but I have always wondered about MagnaFlow. I know they are around the same price but Im really stuck.

if there is a performance difference its in corsas advantage im sure. but not noticeable enough. so get magnaflow. sounds way better

There is not much difference in any one system compared to another. It is so negligible, but The competion Magnaflow has one muffler and the Corsa has two mufflers. I would think the Magnaflow would have a weight advantage. Corsa claims they are drone free but I still like the Magnaflow sound better.

Magnaflow. I got the three inch system. Quite deep tone to the car now. Love them LMR has the system $1200 deliveried.

Nico · 10-30-2009, 10:43 AM

wow ok so pretty much everyone favors MagnaFlow lol so I think that is what Ill be going with. Thank you everyone for the help it is greatly appreciated.

Nico · 10-30-2009, 10:46 AM

But does anyone have a sound clip of the 3in pipe on the LS3 motor?

Iwantone2 · 10-30-2009, 10:55 AM

I will also vouch for Magnaflow, but my car is the L99. 2.5" with two mufflers and I think it sounds great. When I got on it after I left the muffler shop, I was surprised at how much quicker it was! Need to get it on the dyno to see if there really is any gains.

lawdogg149 · 10-30-2009, 11:01 AM

I will be working on one today. I will post later. My car is turboed though so a alittle quiter. My system has two mufflers part# 16584 i think.

IPS Brandon · 10-30-2009, 11:22 AM

As far as performance, you will not see any noticeable difference. Both cat backs use the same diameter piping and similar constructed mufflers. In out experiences the magnaflow systems seem to be the better value when you take price into account.

Here is a nice video of this system stock, verus magnaflow added.

Thank you for the clip. So now that Im going with the MagnaFlow system the question is, What size? You sent me the link to the 3" pipes but I also know that they have a 2.5" pipe as well. What pipes would you recommend?

lawdogg149 · 10-30-2009, 11:56 AM

Three inch. I have them gives the car a deep tone. Old school style without even installing a cam.
