Default Need advice for exhaust

Here's the skivvy:
AFR215's, super lopey cam, and full straight pipe exhaust (LG long tubes headers and the borla straight pipes)

I need some mufflers or resonators or something, as I'm wanting to drive the car on the street now.

My goals: quieting things up, and lookin' for an exotic sound.

Recommendations for catback or axle back? I can't toss my stock Ti's back on as I don't got em.

You can do what I did and install a set of chambered mufflers in the center tunnel area. They are available in 3 different lengths and in either 2.5" or 3" ID. Here are a few pics of my set-up:





Mine are the medium length 3" ID "Powersticks". The sound is not exotic, but more of a 60's musclecar sound. Here is a drive-away video of them with the H/C 346 motor still in the car:



If you want more info, just PM me and I'll send you a link to the vendor. HTH
