Exhaust Suggestions?

[Russell]

Hey guys!

I'm almost to the point where it is time to get the exhaust done on my truck (I finally got the thing running properly after about 3 years of fiddling ) I am planning on going from the headers into a Y-pipe and down the driver's side with a single pipe, exiting at 45 degrees behind the driver's side rear wheel. However, I need suggestions on the pipe diameter, and the muffler choice.

My truck has a fairly mildly built 350 in it (XE262-H cam, TBI swirlport heads, stock intake and carb, reasonably high compression) with a set of flow tech headers. It is built entirely for torque0, not for horsepower (it will never see more than 4500 - 5000 rpm, ever) so I was thinking that 3.5" of pipe should be plenty for my engine. What muffler would you guys choose? I want to stick away from the traditional flowmaster or magnaflow, I don't really like the sound of either. I had flo pros on the truck prior to taking it apart, but they were too loud.

I want something that idles fairly quietly, and cruises quietly, but has a nice rumble to it when I hammer the skinny pedal. I don't want a brappy or tinny sounding exhaust, I want it deep and reasonably mellow.
