...After reading Pauls analysis (and others) it would appear B&B and Corsa have nothing on the Magnaflow system in the way of quality, resonance, and tone and it remains to be seen whether the Magnaflow system proves to be better than Corsa and no worse than B&B.
The only other thing is I still want to see is whether the tailpipes visually compliment the ZR1s big fat butt! Until proven otherwise, this is still where B&B has them all beat.

HIZNHRZ,
I had a B+B as well. The resonance could get a bit rough but I was able to mellow it out with some tuning. It was better at cruise with the tune on the "lean" side. However, I really wanted to put on an Xpipe but didn't want to exacerbate the noise issue by removing the resonator. I liked the idea of a resonator mit Xpipe but couldn't find one other than the Dynomax, I believe. Then I heard about the Magnaflow which included the Xpipe. When I spoke with Marc H. , he told me the B+B resonator would neck down to 1 5/8" and the B+B did drop to 2.25" as it entered the resonator and coming out. The Magnaflow seemed to have more consistent ID than the B+B. They advertise a consistent 3" O.D.
As for the Magnaflow resonator, when I looked at mine it was 2 flow paths
through it, not merging into a single pipe. That was in August so maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me.
If the MF system had the B+B tips, it would be perfect IMO.
