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?

i like the flowmaster 10 series. they have a much cleaner sound than straight through mufflers and are still very loud.

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.
