Default 1971 Stingray - Replace Mufflers

I'd appreciate feedback regarding the replacement of mufflers on a 71 Stingray. Brands, models and sound clips would be most helpful.
Thanks!!!

When it comes time to reinstall my exhaust system, I plant to go with Flowmaster 40’s to replace the old units.
Sound clips are available on YouTube of many different types and flavors of mufflers.
Super nice ‘71 by the way!!
Best of luck!

They sound great, absolutely classic now, but they dont flow. There are far better performing mufflers available if power is important.

To the OP, i like Spintechs. They idle deep and bark nicely, and when you wind 'em up, they get this wicked 'tight' sound (especially awesome with a good X-pipe). Wholly unlike anything else out there if you like different. Better yet, they can literally make you anything... design/size/shape/fit-wise.
