I've narrowed it down to 2 different kinda of mufflers.
Hooker AeroChambers:

I heard a sound clip of an f-body car with one of these just idling and OMG it sounded wicked. It was incredibly deep and mellow.
I'm also thinking about the Dynomax Race bullet mufflers. I'm thinking these might be to loud for what I'm wanting, but I thought I would see ya'lls opinion anyways. Here they are on Jegs:

Has anyone heard these persoanally? How loud are the race bullets really?

I would go with the Aero chambers. I think you would lose alot of low end torque with the bullits and they don't sound that great IMO...very unrefined and raspy. I have the Hooker catback on my F-body and it's perfect for my taste.
I am gonna replace the Flowmaster on my truck with a pair of aero chambers by spring. The flowmaster "drone" is really wearing on me.

This will be a forced inducted engine before long .. I dunno if that will have an influence on opinions or not.
Buckwheat, your catback, does it have the AeroCahmbers or the other Hooker muffler?

It has the aerochamber. My previous F-body was a LT1 97' Formula. I had a aerochamber welded up to replace the stocker on it and It too sounded great and gave a noticeable SOTP increase in power.

Hooker makes some good stuff, so I don't think you'd go wrong with them.
Race Bullet's are LOUD and sound nasty to me. But they have almost no backpressure...so do the small cased Magnaflows.
It is really up to you sound wise obviously...I don't like being super loud. It gets annoying after a short while. I rolled a vehicle with headers, off road h-pipe, and Mac FlowPath's dumped in a car and it was LOUD. It'd set off car alarms drive about in a parking lot.
Those FlowPath's did sound VERY badass. Just a deep, non tinny sound, flow more than the Flowmaster too.
