Hello, I was looking into a catback system. While I like the way the magna flow sounds, I have read a lot of people say it has a really bad drone. I would like something the does come with the Black tips and does not have a raspy sound to it. From all the video clips I have heard (which is still hard to tell) , I find I prefer the Corsa system. Anyone have opinions or regrets on the Corsa, Borla, or Thermal systems?

Thanks, for the reply. Are the tips on that system powder coated? or are the black chrome? Cant really find any good pics. Also I was looking into replacing the Air filter with the aFe pro dry...any opinions on that? Is the whoosh-motorsports reliable for placing a order for that exhaust system?
I have an aFe pro dry and it seems great. Basically just another AEM clone type filter. Not much to write home about really.
I also have the Borla S-type and I frankly love it. I cannot speak for the ATAK. I also live in California so I needed the more subdued S-type to pass emissions decibel test (gotta love California). The Borla system sounds great at idle to my ears. As many others on here have said, it doesn't really drone but is definitely noticeable throughout the rpm curve. Nice little pops on downshifts and far more growl to it compared to stock. Plus the tips are larger than stock and are ACTUALLY exhaust tips and not fake ornaments on turned down pipes.
Edit: My system has the chrome tips and I love em. Might have done the carbon fiber tips if i could do it all over again but I don't regret the chrome.

As I said, they sound great throughout the powerband. No drone at any gear from inside the cabin. It is SLIGHTLY louder in the cabin but the note is so much more pleasing than stock that it's hard to imagine anyone prefering the stock system's characteristics. At idle it sounds great but it's not loud. Mash on the gas and yeah, you'll turn a head or two.

Oh, it's definitely not stupid loud.
Let's put it this way. It puts a smile on my face and doesn't put a frown on my wife's face. We completed a round trip from NJ to South Florida a couple of weeks ago. Zero (and I mean zero) complaints from the wife. Yet when I got on it, I had a definite smile.

Nah. Other way around. My ATAK with downpipes and x-pipe instead of mid-muffler is so friggin loud I had to install sound deadening in the hatch area in order to be able to have a conversation with someone while under acceleration. cruising speed she was quiet, but above 3k??? good lord she be loud.
