Hmmh, I've got [2] 5x11x22 Magnaflows on my 442 with 2 1/2" true dual and they just have a mellow rumble at idle, go almost quiet at H/W speed [65-75]. They sing nicely with your foot to the floor but are relatively quiet otherwise.
I guess it depends on the application. I run dual 3" Flowmaster 50 series Delta Flows on my SS and with my combo it is still fairly loud, especially when crushing carpet. I have a buddy who runs the same mufflers in 2 1/2" duals and a much milder 383 and it is much quieter than mine. I have actually been thinking of trying out the Dynomax Ultra Flows to see how they sound, since I have heard they are a little more mellow.
I looked at Dynomax but ti seems they use fiberglass and that tends to break down over time making the mufflers louder and louder
Hooker Aerochamber. Fairly quiet when light on the throttle and louder at heavy throttle, just sounds great. It matches the 2004R trans I have, nearly soft shifts at light throttle, step on it and the whole car comes to life. Except the pinging 350, will fart around then eventually roar to life. I guarantee you will like the sound, I also have a compact X pipe and all 2.5" pipe with tail pipes behind both rear wheels. The back half is the Hooker cat back exhaust tied into a compact X pipe, custom front pipes off Sanderson 1 5/8" shorty headers.
I may like the like the sound of the Hooker Aerochamber but not on my car. TC1959 has the sound I am looking for
The 83' Lesabre I bought and pulled the drivetrain out of last year had a mild 350 with headers and 2-1/2" Hooker Aerochambers, I thought they sounded good and were well made but again louder than I wanted so I sold the exhaust with the car at least they didn't sound cheap and "tinny" like some.
