what muffler produces a muscle car sound? IM looking to get a catback system installed on my 02 WS6 with stock headers and y pipe. Im wondering if there is anything out there that will make it sound like OLD SCHOOL? I love the sound of a 69 Camaro or something like that. Any mufflers out there that produce this sound?

True duals kick ***, and sound even better with a cam.

tsp rumbler does a great job of sounding old school and is VERY cheap when compared to other catbacks...i have no complaints about the system...buy it without tips and then get some corsa clones to go on it......

Was the car started and running? GMMG on stock manis/cats is noticeable at idle and definitely louder and DEEPER than stock with any throttle. WOT will produce that deep muscle car sound IMO

O.K., you said stock manifolds and y pipe (true duals, cams, headers, ect. will give you more of an old school sound,but you don't / can't go that route right now).
Here are my reccomendations based on what I have owned and heard for a stock setup:
1) GMMG - expensive, but great sound
2) loudmouth 2 - deep, fairly loud, stainless, affordable, drones a bit on the highway but not bad. You can also switch out the LM2 muffler for a magnaflow or Borla bullet muffler to tweak the sound a bit.
3) Loudmouth 1 - not as deep as the LM2, but louder and a little less tone quality, especially at idle. Stainless, affordable.
4) Magnaflow - pretty quiet catback overall, but still sounds nice when you have your foot in it. Stainless, affordable.
Good luck. I am currently running the LM2 and it sounds pretty good for a Y-pipe, catback setup.
