Muffler, or no Muffler?
#12
Here's a few straight-through designs:
Dynomax Bullet - somewhere around $50
Corsa - sold as a catback around $650
Borla XR-1 - muffler for around $165
Hooker Aerochamber (not too loud) - muffler for around $70

In my opinion no muffler is cool if your 16 and driving around the HS parking lot, otherwise you just sound loud and look slow. I have a flowmaster 40 series and still have drone. I would go with a Borla because it has a good sound, I had an XR-1 muffler for about a week but I took it off because it was not loud enough at the time.

No muffler is going to be seriously obnoxious. I had short bodied Dynomax true duals on my 5.3 2005 and at 75 and 80 mph got really old. I had echo tubes on there and I took them off and ran just pipes out the back, and it still droned but not as badly.
I would keep your cats, as they don't restict that much on these engines if at all. and put a nice magna flow or something like that on there. I like the Dyno Max Super Turbo, because it doesn't have any baffles in it, just a sig zag design and a nice deep rumble, but have to say that their build quality has deminished in the past few years. I have had 5 sets on 5 different trucks, and on the last chevy I had they crapped out at 75K.
