Exhaust Advice Please
Forgive me if a similar thread exists. I looked for a while and kept getting distracted reading threads that didn't answer my question.
I just replaced my tired 350 with a new Pace Performance 350ci in my 72. It has a mild cam and sounds much deeper with the stock exhaust than the original. I'd like to replace the exhaust with 2 1/2" system like Magnaflow or Pypes. I don't want obnoxiously loud, just a deep tone that accents the cam lope. Also, considering ceramic coated long tubes but again don't want loud. (Made this mistake in a 2010). Any advice or sound clips? Thanks!

Here's a muffler not many use: My '75 350 has longtube headers, and I put Dynomax Super Turbos on it. I get compliments on the sound all the time. They sound good but are not obnoxious. If I cruise through the neighborhood at a low enough rpm, people don't even look up when I drive by. When I hit the gas on the open road, then they sound nice and powerful. (sorry don't have a sound clip.)

We make an exhaust system for the '72 350 cars from the front crossmember back made from 100 percent stainless steel with mandrel bent tubing and turn-down tips. It's part number 16842 and you can read more about it here on our site (click on the "Install Sheet" link for a look at the constituent parts). We build for durability and toughness, but we also back that up with a lifetime warranty for defects.
Here's an older video of ours that does give a pretty good idea of the sound.

The part that I bolded is really our forte. MagnaFlow exhausts tend not to provide a massive amount of sound all the time; the volume is pretty tame at idle and cruising speed and only really comes alive when you get into the throttle. That said, you're going to get a smooth, deep tone all the time.

2. Our feedback has been little-to-no drone on the C3 cat-back. Where there has been drone reported, it has been a narrow 100 RPM or so slice of the rev range. With drone in that small of a range, there can be variability even in two identical chassis from the same model year where one has a bit and one doesn't. That's true to some (very small) extent with cars that come out of the factory now and the changes are a bit more with cars that have weathered and changed, however subtly, over 40-50 years.
Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
