I want to replace the mufflers on my stock 81. I want them to sound stronger than the stock ones do. Does anyone use "glasspacks" on their vette? I'm not sure if I want something that loud or something a little softer. But, I do want to hear a rumble. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

I like the Flowmaster 50. The Flowmaster 40 is nice also but a little louder than the 50's.

I went with the polished stainless Magnaflows. They look awesome and sound great.

I'm running flowmaster 40's on my 79 and like them. I would suggest that you listen to as many different ones as possible and pick the ones that are right for you!
