Have Thorton shorties pypes down pipes. Pypes x pipe. Flowmaster 50s and tailpipes. Motor is a olds 355 decent compression. Sounds great just a bit loud for me when cruising. Magna flow? Any others?
 
I went from Dynomax Ultra Flows to Walker Quiet Flows.
The Ultra Flows droned like crazy. Couldn't have a conversation in the car. Here are the before and after videos.
The Ultra Flows.

The Quiet Flows
Want these mufflers but they don't make them in 2.5 offset inlet and 2 5 center outlet
 
I really liked the DynoMax Super Turbo mufflers. Quiet, just grumbly, not obnoxious. The Tom and Jim Hand brothers did a ton of testing and proved the Super Turbo's to be the quietest and best flowing mufflers available. The actual test results are out there but I can't find them right now. Here is a sample article. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=620127 This is old data but still applicable. I even have a CD of all the muffler exhaust sounds that they recorded from the testing. Who does stuff like that?!? The article is ""You can build a quiet exhaust system that performs almost like open headers."By Jim Hand & Tom Hand" Post it if you find it please. Here is part of it. https://www.s10forum.com/threads/some-good-muffler-info.411771/

I had those mufflers on my Crown Victoria. Car had a 5.0 HO, T5, shorties, catless H, full 2.5" piping. Was very mellow cruising and when you laid into it would growl, but really not super loud. Would use them again on a build where I wanted decent flow but good noise control.

I used them on my 1977 Trans Am w/Pontiac 400 engine. On the highway you could not even hear them at all. But I also used the tail pipes that exited in the correct location and had the chrome splitters. They were so good I saved them after I cut the TA up. We are going to put them on our 1980 TA w/400 that right now has the most obnoxious 'mufflers' in the world. You can't hear yourself think.
