Default 1970 Corvette exhaust

Have a customer with a 502 powered 70 exhaust that wants to shed the aftermarket side pipes and replace the entire exhaust system.
Undercar clearance is obviously tight.
Looking for a nice sound, but not noisy.
Any recommendations as to a kit that will work with the 50s BB installed in the '70?
Thanks

Are you saying you want to use factory exhaust manifolds connected to an under car exhaust or headers connected to an undercar exhaust?

I dont really think stock manifolds should be used with a 502due to the flow restriction . Im using mcjacks shorty headers with n-11off road exhaust from corvette central ,, im real happy the way it sounds its not too loud and the cabin noise is light .. the stock exhaust pipes are a direct fit to the mcjacks headers. some people favor long tube headers but im very happy with the fit
