Default True Dual Muffler Suggestions

Gentlemen,
I have decided to do a true dual on my 95 Z28. Seemed to have settled on the Pace Setter Long Tubes and an H Pipe, probably 3". Now I am trying to decide on a muffler. I have been poking around ls1sounds.com and there are very few LT1 sounds on there period, and only 2 in the true dual system. A few people have suggested Loudmouth or Bullet. I was wondering what any of the other LT1 guys have found they like on thiers? Keep in mind, I am not going to need to be running cats (while I am in Cali for the military, it is an IL car, and according to IL DMV, you do not need cats for any car 95 or prior). I have not been running cats on mine for a while now (gutted it because I had to). Still looking for a nice throaty LT1 sound with out being OBNOXIOUSLY loud. Very loud is cool. Its been pretty loud just with that gutted cat, but I think a lot of that has to do with the screw missing there, that I feel no need to replace since I am going with a whole new system here very shortly. I am hoping to keep it under $300 a muffler.

I have powersticks and they run about 50-60 a muffler. Its a very deep and loud sound. It's a chambered muffler like what comes on gmmg and came on the old camaros.

thanks. I will have to get on a buddy's computer with a good sound system to hear that better. I am on a shitty government computer right now. Laptop speakers suck ***.

Anyone else have examples? Or at least know of another website similar to LS1Sounds that I can check out?

lol well the camera we had was pretty crappy..its distorted bad no matter how good your sound system will be. oh and if you have a chassis mounted torque arm like me you will have to have your system custom made to fit w/ the crossmember

True duals over the axle and out the back with Hooker Aerochambers. Only bad thing about them is I've got about 3" ground clearance now, they are a big muffler. It's quiet as stock inside the car til you nail it. I absolutely love the sound. When I get time I'm gonna move them to the very back so I don't drag them everywhere I go.

I had them dumped before the axle with bullets before this, absolutely hated it after a few months. It's just way too loud plus the exhaust fumes would make me sick as a dog after a few minutes of driving.
