Default exhaust question

Hey guys,

Quick question about choosing the right muffler.
So far I've rebuilt my engine and I'm looking for a good set of mufflers.


I have a 383 stroker and I am looking for a nice throaty sound from the pipes. However, This is gonna be an everyday driver so I don't want the car to sound too obnoxious. I would like it to have a sort of low key but yet mildly aggressive sound

Do any of you guys recommend a nice pair of mufflers that could give me some performance and at the same time have have a nice low key sound.


Thanks

Thrush Turbo Mufflers make people smile when they hear them on my 75.
I run 2 1/2 exhaust into a pair of 2 1/4 in and out.

Pretty quite going down the road and just the right tone every where else.

Not the Thrush Hush
