I'm sure you'll get the seach button. I would try LS1Sounds.com to find a sound you like. If you can find some Camaro/Firebird/T/As/etc around ou to see and hear what they have.

Most of the time, what sounds good on the computer sounds even better in person, and what sounds ok is sometimes pretty decent. It really comes down to what you're looking for. I like the looks of dumps, but my buddy has them and he has horrible ground clearance.

Good Luck!

TD's is the way to go in my opinion...ive had flowmaster/LMII/Borla and i prefer TD's and headers over anything...personally i love my Mac LT's and 3" dynomax bullets/dynomax xpipe dumped....sounds great...real deep tone at low speeds and screams at WOT with no rasp...just clean sound...but the drone from about 25-45MPH is loud..lol..but doesnt bother me in the least...also with TYD's your going to give up some ground clearance...anyways i have a couple clips i could post if you want me to...

Mac headers are NOT LT's, they are a mid-length header:



......QTP LT's for an example for LT's:

I like true duals but they are too loud. Well let me refrase that, they are too loud for cops out here and I'm tired of dealing with them so I'll be doing the y-pipe/cutout setup.
