Anybody in the Valencia/Santa Clarita So-Cal. area have a stock or close to stock C5 with the Magnaflow or Borla touring exhaust that I can listen to in person? I've listened/watched many sound files/videos online and from one to the next they mostly all sound dramatically different for supposedly the same configuration, as a result of the way they were recorded and/or encoded by each individual. In one sound file or video it may sound just like what I'm looking for and in another it doesn't, the only way I'm really going to know is to hear them in person.

From what I've heard so far I think I'm leaning toward the Magnaflow, and the price is definitely better for it, but I'm more concerned with the right sound than the price. I want something somewhat deep and throaty sounding, but I want it to be fairly mild at idle and at cruise when I'm just driving down the road. However when I rev or under full acceleration I want something that sounds at least a little meaty, unlike the timid setup that came with my 2K Vette. From what I've heard (online) the Corsa Touring is just a little too loud and a little too rough at idle for my tastes. However, I wouldn't mind hearing a Corsa Touring in person either for comparison purposes.

Thanks in advance!

P.S., if anybody has any quality sound and/or A/V files available online or via email/FTP of the configurations I mentioned above, I would appreciate that as well. I've already scoured YouTube and I've listened to all the sound files from each of the manufacturers.
