Guys - What's the best muffler for an awesome deep, rumble but also not extremely loud??
I was thinking Flowmaster 40's but am now second guessing if they will be too loud.

I've got a 73' Vette, built 350/350, with Headman headers and plan on installing an x-pipe.

I am running the Delta flow 50s on mine. Nice tone not to loud but loud enough. You have to remember on a Vette there is no tailpipe so it will be louder on a Vette than cars with a tailpipe. You are basically coming right out of the muffler.

Flowmaster Super 40's instead of regular 40's. You won't be disappointed.
