Put the muffler as far back as possible then the drone or resonance isn't bad. I only run flows, I have an old set (over 20 years now!) on my 70 camaro and I have a couple of sets on the BBC 454 SS truck and another new set for my 2wd Blazer. Again the 40's or 44's are loud, but the 50's and up are mellower. I HATE GLASSPACKS!! The rednecks around here think that crackle snap pop is so coll, but well you know! Borla, Flows, dynomax, etc are better than a glass pack. BTW X or H pipe is more about equalling out the exhaust pulses from DS and PS banks on the motor which can create a bit of power as well, X pipe really helps scavenging, and all the way out back otherwise anything will be loud. I ran 3" 2 chambers off of a BBC that ended before the rear, it was crazy!! I loved it, but some thought it was loud.
