I've been waiting for the Magnaflow to quiet down since the CAI, remap,DP and full exhaust. At 1900-2100 the vibration and tuba sound in the cab is deafening! It's subsided somewhat after 10 days of driving but the note is muffled and so basey it is annoying. I can;t drive in "D" anymore and I keep the rpms at 2200 plus in maual while I put another two weeks into the exhaust. I've seen where a magnaflow muffller at the midpipes will quiet down the car. But overall I'm disappointed with Magnaflow... wish I had the AFE!
I was told that the Afe exhaust did not fit the X drive. I have a 2012 build year x drive m sport and needed a dual pipe out... make sure you order the correct Afe exhaust (single out vs double)

Between the two, we've moved more AFE. I'd have to recommend that or the Corsa.

As far as sound, check out some youtube videos. People interpretation of what sounds good might be different from yours.

What are you looking for?
