Default Flowmaster vs Corsa

I've narrowed it down to two axlebacks that I like, but before I go and spend the money I want some opinions. I've heard alot about the Flowmasters, but not so much about the Corsa axlebacks on the threads, probably mostly to do with the price of the Corsa. I have a 3" inch magnapack kit that I purchased and Its just not what I'm looking for so I put the bullitt system back on. Need some opinions from personal use.

FLOWMASTER OR CORSA?

I have the Corsa sports and I love them. They do cost more, but you will never get drone. The corsas seem to actually be more quiet at idle, but they sound mean when engine braking or under heavy load.

Yeah I heard alot of sounds clips and they so sound great, Do you have full exhaust or just the axlebacks?

I've had many AB exhaust systems on my car and none sounded as good as the Flowmaster's. But they only lasted about a year before they rusted, the tips pitted and they sounded like two paint cans filled with gravel. I now have Corsa's and I love them, sure they're pricey but they'll last forever. The Flow's are, what, one third Corsa's price but if you drive your car they won't last long.

I just bought the axleback. I didnt get the corsa x-pipe because I like the deeper exhaust note of an H-pipe.

If I really had to choose between the two I would go corsa because I was disappointed with my old flows. They were too mellow for me. At the same time corsa is way too much.

The flow axle-backs made for the S197 is quite meh. Corsa owns it hardcore.

The ONLY flow setup I've heard that sounded very good was a custom 40 series mid-muffler setup. I'm pretty sure it was 40 series. So unless you wouldn't mind going that route, Corsa FTW!
