I bought converter, y-pipe & Magna Flows for my 79 from Corvette Central. Not too loud, just a nice rumble & a good bark when you mash with your foot. Very good quality, good fit & the price is right. IMO, you can't go wrong with Magna Flow.

Dynomax Ultra Flow not restrictive, nice sound, no interior resonances (drone), inexpensive and available locally (AZ, AdvancedAuto)

60's sound eh? Run straight pipes! Seriously though, I would say that glass packs like smithys would work well, but steel packs would do as well. I think that flowmaster 40's are nice, and I dont want to step on anyones toes here, but I think that they are too restrictive.
