I don't have the "VT" mufflers but I have read here that if the car gets a lot of condensation buildup in the exhaust, the cutout flap in the muffler can become corroded and eventually fail. There is a small spring that controls the opening of the flap so going WOT will open the flap and generate a louder exhaust note. If this spring gets corroded and breaks, the flap will not work as designed.
I have the DynoMax UltraFlo mufflers on my '87 (headers, true duals, and an X-pipe) and this system is pretty quiet on the street. Gets loud at full throttle (measured about 97 dB at 5000 RPM) but is a nice low tone while cruising. No interior resonance either!!
Lots of sound clips of them on youtube.They seem to work well and the updated flapper has a coating on the edge to keep it from rattling.You are less likely to experience that on a C4 with the mufflers at the rear bumper IMO.
A lot of the Impala SS guys like them and I may run a set on mine other than I already have magnaflow mufflers sitting in the barn.
Do your measurements well and realize you may not be able to run the tip you want.
