Check out the hooker aero chambers, they are around $60 from the right vendor, and they flow well enough that you won't lose too much horsepower, yet not as loud as some of the other companies.

I have a set of used stainless mufflers you can have. The only thing wrong w/them is they have 2" inlet & outlet. Anyone need a set of performance mufflers for free, just pay the shipping or pick them up on the Jersey Shore & bring beer.

I bought Dynomax super turbos for mine. It was cheaper to get universal fit from Jegs with 2 1/2" in and out and have the exhaust shop do some adapter bending than buying the direct fits from the Vette catalogs. I think the direct fit are 2 1/2 in and only 2" out also.
