Stock engine? If so, you're going to need some way to mount the O2 sensor.

Otherwise, it meets all of your criteria (tolerable not being one of them. . . ).

would I be able to use the stock o2 and weld a bung in the collector? I know this is a newb question but would I have one or two o2s in my lo3?
This should be loud enough hopefully. There is a lady that lives on my street and always gives me dirty looks when I put-put by with my flowmast cat back she should love this lol

One O2 sensor in the driver's side manifold stock. You can weld on a bung, drill the hole open, and mount the O2 sensor in the collector. When going with longtube, people often go to a heated O2 sensor, but it isn't always necessary. However, you may end up having to do some PROM tuning to compensate for the increased exhaust flow capability. This will not be emissions-legal, of course.

I can't condone deliberate annoyance of the neighbors, but it's your car.

I have a set of pipes I am selling. Dual 3" dumps with dynomax bullets. I have not decided on price yet, but just to let you know and guage interest. It fits around the spohn x-members and give plenty of ground clearance. I am selling cuz it is just too damn loud on my 385.

Since when are the purple hornies so expensive? I could have sworn I saw them for under $30 before. I'd get a cheaper muffler since it's doing basically nothing.

First, that's the price for a pair; and second, they are 3" in/3" out header mount.

You can get a 2-1/4" Purple Hornie for $24.

I did a search and found out that the muffs wont clear the frame rail. So I will probably be going with the hedman lts x-tensions about 2 feet of pipe with dynomax bullets

I put those headers and the y pipie that goes with it on my 92 with a 385 with the basic flowmaster muffler. It does its job for now. Had to do some banging to get them to fit. What would someone else suggest?
