I still use the Thrush brand. Running a set of old school Thrush Turbos on a 72 Malibu with a 350. I love the sound. It will set off car alarms though.

I was looking at the welded ones. Not wanting anything to obnoxious.

Thrush mufflers are "glass-packs", IIRC. Not much muffling from them, but they can be used as resonators for "mellowing" exhaust tones. I have a pair near the ends of the exhaust sets on my '65 Grand Prix. The Magnaflow mufflers were just a bit brackish. Very mellow now. The 421 H.O. exhaust system was similarly designed.

If you want to hear an 'open' exhaust system which has been mellowed a bit, they work pretty well.

They are not real quiet so I would recommend an X pipe system with them. Mine aren't too bad with my 3" X pipe system.
