I haven’t heard these systems in person, but from reading online, this is what I have gathered:

Corsa 2.5’’ – Expensive, loud, not a lot of drone, heavy http://thmotorsports.com/i-1890990.a...vyMaArjr8P8HAQ
Magnaflow 2.5” – medium price range, not too loud?, maybe even too quiet??, no drone, heavy https://www.rallysportdirect.com/par...7ysaAigq8P8HAQ
Xforce 3” – N/A so I don’t need the 3” (yet), cheaper than the others, heavy https://www.rallysportdirect.com/fit...t-back-exhaust


I can’t get a real good gauge of each of these systems. The Corsa is the most expensive, and I think the one I would pick, but its $800+, the others are in the $500 range. I like the growing room of the Eforce, but I cant find much about it and what is the point of a 3” system, and having a 2.5” front pipe (HKS SC system is in the future)? Magnaflow is where I am leaning now, but my fear is that it will be too quiet.

I really want the car to be loud, deep and not drone as much. I don’t mind a little drone, but the N1 setup is just way too much at this point for the neighbors to take and for me, when I am on the highway (best exhaust system around for cruising around town).

Appreciate any input – and yes, I have scoured google/youtube to the end of the world and cannot decide. Talk me off the ledge of buying the Corsa or Magnaflow, or help me decide on the Eforce!
Why are you only considering these 3 options?

There is many other catbacks that would be a good choice for you if your looking for a quiet catback. Yes some are very expensive, but these 3 catbacks are the most quiet options on the market today.

Option 1
Fujitsubo Authorize R

Option 2
Blitz VS/VSR

Option 3
Invidia Q300

Regarding front pipes (which will bring noise down drastically)

Option 1
Stock Front Pipe

Another Front Pipe that actually keeps the same noise level the same as Stock FP is the Fujitsubo Dual Resonated FP, however it only comes catless so your car will smell.
