recommend me a muffler
Been doing research and I'm aware of all the brands but so far I'm leaning more towards Edelbrock. What do you guys think i should get for my factory exhaust on my 305 carb'd 305? I don't want it to be loud when idling and when I step on it, I don't want that raspy loud sounds. I"m going for a very deep growl. What do you guys think?

Sounds like you want a Magnaflow muffler. Very quiet at idle and cruising, and when you step on it it's not incredibly loud but it's DEEP sounding.

I like my Hooker muffler, it sound exactly like what you are describing.
The muffler is not as "deep" as I thought it was going to be, but I sum that up to having a nearly stock 305... what can I expect, right?
Anyway, I recommend a Hooker muffler. Great performance and sound for the price.

Hooker.
My Magnaflow has that "clapping" noise around 2200-2800 WOT. The Hooker I have on my 383 is deeper and smoother.

I bought a complete exhaust system for mine from pace setter. 3inches. I got it on ebay brand new from the supplier for 305 dollars. Great improvement and sound! I would recomend you this.

I like my V-Force muffler on my 350 TPI. It has a deeper sound and isn't as loud as the Edelbrock.
Just my 2 cents.
Hope this helps!

The only slight downside is that every once in a great while after romping on it then suddenly getting off the gas the exhaust will do a single pop type of thing. This is probably because I'm running a little on the rich side and am experiencing afterburn (or whatever you want to call it).
Stock (basically) L98 too.
I look foward to what adding headers will do to the sound of it.
