I am currently using the hooker aero-chamber mufflers for the C4 vette. It is a good product at a good price, But I sware I actually thought they were louder tham the temp straight pipes I had on there before. Resonnace is also in full swing with these (headers plus no cats)
This very question is why you go to car shows, so you can hear and find what you want.

It's always better to hear somebody's car in person if possible. What one individual might consider to sound "good" or "loud" might not be the same for another guy.

Quality ain't the best transferring from old school cam to digital format, but turn up the speakers. The first vid you can hear 4th gear rubber from almost 1/4 mile away. The second video is two burnouts.
