Sweet Thunder side pipes. I just put some on my 1966 L-79, Sounds great. Their made by High Flow Performance 213-825-0155. Great people to deal with.

Yes. Sound very subjective. Wanted to minimize Hp loss to modded L72. Have 2.5” stainless GNM with 3” outer tube. Space between filled with ceramic felt to damp some sound. Fit perfect. I used the stock L72 CI exhaust. Fit inside stock covers. No welding, bolt up. Business used to be Sweet Thunder. I think Ryan, a long time employee bought company. Apparently now Hi Flow. I love the sound. Like asking about favorite country music if you like or not. But no question some would call loud (mebbe most).
