what muffler should i use?

I have a 91 camaro with a carb'd 350. Im going to do the true dual exhaust and want to know what muffler will give me the sound i want. My engine has a cam so it probably will have a thump, i want a nice tune, loud but not to loud and not a nasty sounding exhaust. My choices were between spintech, corsa, borla, or pypes. I do like they way mustangs sound at higher RPM's and i know i wont get the same tune but what muffler will give me a muffled nice tune with not a whole lot of drone? and also when im on throttle i want a mean sound. Heres an example of a mustang i like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfmHHawbEbI

Have dual Flowsmaster 40 turned down under the frame with the converters cut out on my Silverado with a 350, sets off car alarms when I crank and rev it. Magnaflows are good, but pricey and mellow.

My current set up is flowmaster and i dont like the noise at all, it has no tune unless your at 4000 rpm. Magnaflow does have a nice muffler but im looking for something more aggressive. I dont think slp mufflers will sound good on a chevy, only ones i would be interested in are the spintech mufflers, corsa, borla, or pypes muffler.

Bullets or spirals will do the trick.

The flowmasters are loud no doubt, you want it disturbingly LOUD go with the new cherry bomb set up (glass packs) or Borla cat back. Depends on the money you're willing to spend honestly.

I put dual Thrush Turbos on my true exhaust and carb 350. I have had so many compliments about the sound.
