Default 1976 Side pipes

Hey all! Just got my first Corvette! She is a 1976 Stingray!
I was looking on opinions for side pipes from people who put them on their C3's. I already have side mount heads on her, and I was looking at Sweet Thunders while drooling Anyone have any other recommendations or opinions for other options? Or know if I can get the ST to bolt up with a good fit?

are you saying you have a side mount header exhaust system such as hooker and you looking for a different muffler insert for the side pipe, or you mean you have a factory style side exhaust ?

Hooker MaxFlow muffler inserts if you can handle the noise.
