I agree, you can not tell by a you tube video how that car really sounds, let alone how his mufflers will sound like on your car.Thanks for all the replies and advice guys. I'll see what I can come up with, noting availability and pricing. Flowmasters are easy to get here in Australia (but I don't want them), as are the Hooker Aero Chambers linked above. They were actually on my shortlist before I made the boo-boo with the Glasspacks. I have no idea what they sound like though - you can watch a hundred Youtube videos and still not know what any muffler really sounds like, especially in the car which is the most important part. The Aero Chambers are in stock though in Australia which is a huge plus (for timing and for shipping costs), but they are chambered and not turbo style so I'm assuming will be loud? I'll also talk to the muffler guy on Monday - he's very old school and may have something generic that fits the bill and won't break the bank.
I've now got 3 videos of my car taking off with the old mufflers no H-pipe, old mufflers with H-pipe, and the Glasspacks no H-pipe. The Glasspacks sound fantastic on the video - I'll try to post them later - but it's evident that videos v real world are 2 different things.
I have run 50 series "big block" flowmasters, and I love em, but mine don't drone, I think because they are so huge.
I also ran hooker aero's. I didn't care for the sound at first, but by the time I got used to the fact that they didn't sound like flowmasters, even though they are a chambered muffler too, I really liked how they sound.
I think I may adapt the aero's to my 62, in place of the Flowmaster system, to see if I can save 50 lbs or so.
