Call me crazy, but I liked the sound of my Corsa extreme on my gen2 better than the oem gen3 exhaust (even in baja mode). It's just not loud enough for me unless I'm bouncing off the rev limiter constantly. I can't believe the lack of aftermarket exhaust support (I guess they are all scared of the active dampers) and I in no way shape or form believe Magnaflow's system warrants the 4k price tag.
So my lightbulb idea...
As seen in the picture of the Magnaflow exhaust, the special sauce seems to be the new dampers, but other than opening and closing like the oem ones I believe they really aren't that different, and the rest of the system is straight piped (I wouldn't use the resonators). So I am going to a local muffler shop to see if we can surgically remove (sawzall) the oem active valves from my oem exhaust and weld in a straight pipe in place of the muffler in a similar shape to the Magnaflow unit.
Or the guy selling his used Magnaflow system will PM me back and I'll just buy his...
Let me know if anyone has done anything similar or if I'm just a few short of a full deck.
