Default Sidepipes question

I have a 1970 454 vette im redoing and am looking into sidepipe options. I have factory manifolds right now and currently looking at the Allens versions. Does anyone have these or have another brand they recommend? I will preface and say i would like them decently loud also. I'm just looking for opinions.

Side pipes are nothing for performance. But Allen's does sell different sounds levels

I just got a set of Allens super quiet. But mine are for a C2 because that is what I am setting up on the car ( found covers for $300, couldn't pass it up) RPI is having a sale on these things right now. I got their lower prices from their site but now I see there is a discount code for forum members. Scroll down to the bottom of their ads.

I just took Doug's off mine, great fit. Replaced with Doug's regular longtube headers so that should say something.
