Sound

Ok, I am rebuilding an 89 350 TPI motor with a different cam, and I am installing Hooker headers and a Dynomax high-flow 3" cat. Now I need the cat-back. I want something that is deep and throaty, but not too terribly loud. I want to turn heads, but I also want to be able to talk to my passengers. If you have seen Gone In 60 Seconds, the sound of the 67 Mustang would be perfect. I'm looking for the old muscle car sound, but not too loud. I do not want Dynomax. I've heard one and it didn't sound that great, but then again it was a stock 305 TPI. Which 3 INCH cat-back should I go with? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Man don't get me started on Gone in 60 Seconds. What a sweet movie. Like that scene outside the bar where that quiet guy blows up the black dudes Mercedes and knocks the sh** out of him!! And the Lamborghinis, the Nitrous, Whatta film! But if u have the money i would say Borla Exhaust. It is adjustable so ideally you can wake up every morning and say "How do i want my car to sound today?" A nice quiet ride to work to listen to the radio, and a deep rumbly Drag Car sound for night. But is xpensive.
