Default Exhaust for a 350 SBC

Okay guys, what, in your opinion, is the best sounding set up for a 350 SBC? I have a set of lt hooker headers on it right now. Those for some reason block some of my spark plug holes too. The center plugs anyways. Makes for a hell of a time putting new plugs in. Anyways, whats the best sounding mufflers? I'm looking for a good deep tone, but not raspy!

I had hedman headers (1 5/8), 2 1/2" true duals dumped at the axle, and Flowmaster 2 chambers on my old Z28 350. It had Dart heads and mid-sized cam. Car sounded nasty.(in a badass way)

Super 40s will get you a deep sound, but won't make the best power IMHO. Magnaflows are a bit quieter but make more power from dyno and track tests we've done.

i have headman headers and single 3" exhaust with no cat and a delta 40. sounds great but not loud enough. im gunna switch to a super 44 but was thinking about straight pipe but it will probably be too loud then.
