A Dynomax Bullet muffler should give u the sound your looking for, but there aren't really legal.

For myself I have the 3.5inch Catback exhaust kit with a Spintech Muffler made by Mufflex Performance.

It sounds good, and provide an exellent flow. I highly recommend Spintech muffler.

Take a look at the top of the page and read some of the stickies deticated to exhaust selection. Your choice will be 99% preference. All cat-backs perform about the same. I would also try to a do a few searches on the brands listed in the afore mentioned stickes. They will provide you with enough info and possibly sound clips to make your choice.

They tend to drone at cruising speeds and have a lot of rasp to them. They also do not flow as well as some of the others out there. Not all people complain and some poeple worship the sound. The more powerfull your motor the less likely you will be dissapointed with the sound. Two of my good buds have a flowmaster cat-back. One is a cammed 305 with headers and the other is a stock 305. Both have rasp and drone and I can't say I enjoy it at all. Read the thread titled "why all the flowmaster haters" to get some varying opinions on this system.
