Default Muffler Recommendation

I'm finishing up a build and looking for a muffler recommendation? Preferably stainless as that's what I'm planning for the rest of the system. Hoping someone has a similar build with a sound clip. XR1, Stainless works, etc..

1969 Camaro Pro Touring build
Twin Turbo LQ4 AES 390

My magnaflows have always been super tame at idle, quite mild during normal driving, and loud as **** at wot. Like a good street car should be

I will add that I have a borla cat back currently and I really really like it. Similar characteristics as the magnaflow just sounds deeper.

Anything with a straight through design. You may want to look into Loud Valves too. Vacuum operated bypass valves. Allows for much more boost at higher RPMs. You can set them to open at a certain PSI and it rips--although it makes boost kick in that much harder. If traction is an objective, it may make things a little tricky. Fun, but tricky.

They're also dyno proven with very significant results.

Don't think the hooker maxflow is stainless but it was the quietest and best flowing by quite a bit on a few independant tests out there. A cutout and tiny diameter short run with an OEM muffler of some sort is still the best route IMO. Quiet as a minivan or a screamer....
