There is very little drone from the JBAs, a bit deeper on the outside, and the slow down rumble...

I'd guess the Mags are a bit louder outside, quite a bit inside at load...??

I listened to both before I bought and chose the JBA. Powerful but mellow sound and I have not awoke the neighbors nor the local constable.

The Corsas are nice! Very nice and they are priced there-after... But in their defence they actually made almost 4 RWHP! That's 2 more than all others I've actually seen!

I thought they claimed almost 30 HP on their website? I guess they didn't mean RWHP?

30 at the crank would be 25 at the wheels! Not true! I don't think that it's possible with a full system to make 30 HP! Loong tube headers, no cat, X, Corsa mufflers or no mufflers... maybe with a tuner and a tune...??

Not knocking the Corsa product as they are fine but, that claim to add all that HP is absolute BS. I mean 13 HP/ 9 TQ with only a muffler change is false advertisement. You can't even get that with no pipes after the H-pipe.

By this time, all Mustang owners (actually, any muscle car owner) should know that changing your cat-back doesn't add crap. Basically, you do it for the sound. Have you considered Borla as an option? I installed a Borla kit, and in my opinion, nothing comes close to the sound! A trained ear can distinguish Blowmasters from a higher quality exhaust and tuned note (Borla). I guarantee you will get compliments if you go with Borla. Plus, its 100% stainless steel. Most other manufacturers only coat the pipes with stainless steel. Or in the case with Flowmaster, it's just aluminized. Just food for thought. Later.

Good point, the Borlas are nice! You will have to add the better look to sound though, with all of them...

I have the JBAs and like them but think I might as well have stayed stock... like the sleeper look... :winks

Wonder how catted long tubes with an X and stock muffs sound...??
