Default Muffler options?

Im lookin into getting some mufflers as my current set up is pretty loud. Right now I have Hooker long tubes running to high flow cats to a pair of Glass Pacs strait out the back. Dont get me wrong it sounds awesome but everyone I talk to says its freakin to loud and Im sure my neighbors dont appreciate me firein it up at 8 in the mornin. I need some general opinions and recommendations. I dont wanna sacrifice power or sound and I like the deep throaty tones I currently have. What do you guys like?

Wish I could get Corsa's but headers prevent that and the fact that you have to buy the whole catback system sux.

The sound of Flowmasters is incredible. I've had them on other cars. However, on the vette, I went with Magnaflow and have been very pleased. And I think they look good too.

Pics if you paste the link from my sig.
