How to get your Third Gen F body sounding Tuff.

Hi all, just wanting to hear from guy's on any suggestions or alterations on the style of Exhaust system or really the rear muffler used to develop a beefer tone on 80'a models Trans Am's with the 305 and 350's (especially the TPI style). They tend to have an in the middle sound, It's not the classic 70's tuff V8 note, yet not the smooth throaty late model Chev V8 sound either.

I've got the 3" from the front after it passes through an empty cat, in to a custom made performance rear muffler with the typical 1 in and 2 out (the outs are 2 1/4"'s.) Set of custom made extractors, big pipe size.

I was going to look at squeezing a twin pipe system in, all the way from the font with 2 small little glass pack resonators (hot dog style) at the rear just before the tail pipes as one option, or perhaps try an Edelbrock style muffler. These are hard to find out here in OZ and cost a lot more then normal.

I'm really keen to hear from anyone as to any suggestions or feedback on what they have.

Francis.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the best system out there. Rumble and intimidating at idle, smooth and refined through the RPM range, an absolute beast at full throttle. I'm running it through stock manifolds and with a cat. And it's louder than my Flowmaster without the cat. But way more unique sound to it. I love it.

Probably won't be cheap to send to Australia. Although I suspect not much is in that regard.
