Default muffler delete

I am thinking of doing a muffler delete on my 87. I would like to have a little more sound out of this vette. Its a little too quiet. My 2011 Silverado has a magna flow exhaust and it sounds good. Any thoughts, it's a convertible and I don't care about the radio. too much drone maybe? Listened to youtube videos but would like to hear one in person.

Delete's sound really nice on the L98. I use magnaflows on my 87' vert (doesnt have drone unless i have the hard top on). The magnaflows are louder than deletes and both sound good (and more rumble).

I have Eckler’s muffler delete on my LT-1, and I think its perfect especially because it maintains the stock look and sounds just right to me.

Just deleted the mufflers on my 92 C4 targa top, it's a mellow sound for in town driving but when you put the pedal to the carpet it's terrific sounding but not deafing. One thing you should do is make sure when you have the install done is to schim the pipes between the pipes and the body, it eliminated the vibes.

I will note that I am not a good person to ask about droning. Because I received the car with no mufflers, I’m not sure how significantly they drone. But for me, I don’t really care as this is my sunday driver and I want it to sound right.
