Exclamation Quick Exhaust Question

I am going to buy a catback exhaust system soon. There are so many to choose from. I had Magnaflow on the car I previously owned and was impressed with it's performance. I was thinking about going with the DC Sports catback system due to the fact that it's cheaper than the Magnaflow. If you have a DC Sports system, what is your experience with it? Do you like the sound? What is the performance like? Thanks.

P.S. If anyone has a clip of the MAgnaflow system on their Cobalt, that would be great.

I have an 06 Cobalt with a Pacesetter cat-back. It does really well despite what others have told me about it. It was cheaper too which is a reason why I went with it...

Go with magnaflow! It sounds really good! I just got it 2 weeks ago and it performs well and i've got many compliments on it. I have a clip of it on my myspace. um..cant get the direct link cause its blocked here at my work. go to myspace and search and type in wdsoccer102005@netscape.net for the email and it should come up. im trying to download another clip with my camera inside the car.

There is a group buy for the GM Performance cat-back that was posted a couple of days ago. I'll try to find it for you- the price was really good.

Expired. Crate Engine Depot still has a good price, and Cobalt Addiction has the DC sports exhaust for about the same price as a GMPP exhaust.

By the sound of it in that video it sounds nearly identical to those on the 2.0 and 2.4 that I've heard firsthand. I never once heard the Magnaflow pop or sputter on either engine and the tone was clean so I'd assume the 2.2 would be the same. If the cost isn't a huge deal I'd stick personally with the Magnaflow (hell if I could actually "save" my money I might buy the damn thing ).

EDIT:

Oh ya just found this video of the Corsa sport on a 2.2. He didn't really crank it up but should give you an idea:

And the DC sport:
