I see a lot of THRUSH mufflers used. If you want to be heard it is a logical choice, I went the other way as my car has a 440 and I want it to be a big surprise to the FORD and CHEVY guys who want to play.
Sometimes I get to feeling that if Xmas, Fathers Day and my Birthday did not exist, then aftershave too would not exist.

I have the big block b-body mufflers from Accurate Exhaust. They are described as stock replacements, so I thought they may be too quiet, but the are just right. Not tinny, good rumble, plenty of noise when you open it up.

I have dual 40-Series FlowMasters. Idles very loud; deep mellow tone. When you pin the pedal you will wake up the neighbors :wink: But I heard thrush may have a deeper tone.

You can go to flowmastermufflers.com and watch their video of 7 different mufflers.
