Default Muffler advice

I'm looking to replace the factory mufflers on my 91 L-98. I really don't want to go further than that. The little woman might get suspicious if she sees the car on jacks a long time! Trying to get a little throaty sound without the resonance inside and some decent chrome out the end. Unfortunately I see listings for some that I like but they go from 84-90 and 92-96. What happend to 91? I Like the Pacesetters with the ZR-1 tips. Any suggestions and/or photos would be helpful. Thanks again. :flag

FWIW I don't our 'verts have the resonance problems as much with mufflers/exhaust as coupes do.

91 seems to be the redheaded step child when it comes to exhaust. When I went looking for my 3 chamber Flowmasters, only one part number fit the car. I was told that it was a 91 specific part. If I wanted Flows (and I did), there wasn't really an option.

Whatever you go with, just make sure the tips extend beyond the body and that the system is as isolated as possible. Do that and any resonance should minimal.

Good luck with your choice.
