guess I'll just ask, what muffler?

I have a 350 (soon to be a vortec 350 if that changes things) into shorty headers into Y-pipe into a "cat" (cleaned out) then stock all the way back I am debating on flowmaster or Cherry bomb.

I want a good deep throaty muscle car sound, don't mind being loud, but I still like my tunes, and not "tinny"

Re: guess I'll just ask, what muffler?

I have a flowmaster on my 85 and I have a 350 with headers, y pipe, and no cat. I love the sound quality, very throaty if that's what your looking for. Defininetly turns those heads.

I have a 88 Trans Am with a 350, SLP shorty headers, cat configured the same as you, and a Hooker catback. I LOVED the way that sounds. Much more tuned then the Flowmaster I have on my 91 GTA.

Re: guess I'll just ask, what muffler?

I installed the DynoMax cat back system on my 5.7 91 z28 about a year ago and I am very happy with it. Edelbrock TES headers, and no cats with a little modification. The car sounds strong at idle and low RPM's, but, when you accelerate, people know that you are coming. Great sound, many envious compliments, yet at cruising speeds you can listen to your sound system without being overpowered by exhaust sound. My 2 cents. Randy
