Default Supertrapp exhaust swap

Ok all
i know this has been covered but maybee it has not
i am a new vette owner and the exhaust is currently a 3inch pipe with a 10 plate supertrapp muffler.
I know most of you old school guys know what supertrapp is.
anyways i am looking to change it out and from what i gather in these forums is that most people want a quiet system. NOT ME!!!!!!!
i want a LOUD groul

problem i am running into is there is not alot of options for a 85.......

your opinions matter to me since you all have input that i dont.
what should i do

Prepare to look like those photos of old men saying, "EHHH???? I can't hear ya!!!!! Dammit, speak up!!!"

At age 35.

What a thrill that'll be. Not to mention those cute little hearing aids you'll be wearing. Much sooner than later.

I agree...just triple the disks. I saw a supercharged street car running 8 supertraps on zoomie style headers. The car was SO lound but it was very neat. I have to look really close to make sure the door would actually open and it did. When the guy did his burnout I was surprised how loud it was.

take out all the fiberglass packaging and discs, it's almost like having a straight pipe.

I have borla XR-1 Race mufflers with side exits on my Lt-1 Impala SS and it is loud enough to set off car alarms in a mall parking lot.

Hmmm..... Tell the Honda Boy it's a very special SS adjustable exhaust, sell it to him for ... Oh, I dunno..., $1000.00, then go buy whatever you want! I'm a BAD man!!!!
