Hey
I had custom dual exhaust done for my 71 LTD (which is gone now) for 500 bucks which was for 3 inch pipes and 2 Original 40 series Flowmaster mufflers and the car had everything factory. It was on a 351 Windsor small block engine, and it was still LOUD. It would give you a low rumble on idle, but when you revved it, it was loud. The Original 40 series Flowmaster (which I had) and the super 44 model mufflers are pretty loud but they do have quiter ones, you can check on their website to compare how loud you want it. I don't know if that's what you are looking for or what the guys here think on Flowmasters, but I don't mind them.
I like the Flowmasters, and I like to hear that V8. If I were to get them for my Buick I would probably get the same ones.

I do love those Waldrons mufflers. If it's any consolation, the owner of Waldrons is Canadian!

I love flowmasters and have them on everything.

They are located in Centreville Michigan. They shipped by UPS and to be honest I don't recall the final price. I'd have to dig up the invoice. I had a bunch of money on my Paypal (you can pay by Paypal online) from selling on Ebay so I wasn't too concerned. I think I spent about 600 bucks by the time I was done. Now the dollar was near par at the time too. When I talked to the owner he was pondering the idea of having a distribution center in Canada (his mufflers are actually made here in Ontario!). Call him and see if he has done that.CLICK HERE for their website. Obviously things will be much cheaper if you just want the mufflers. There was nothing available here in Canada and I didn't want a muffler shop doing the work so my choices were slim. In hindsight if I were doing it again I'd cave and buy the mufflers and get a good custom exhaust shop to do the work.

Yeah, I checked out the website and I am seriously thinking about those VOE mufflers now, although it is not clear whether they will sell those separately, they only seem to be available as part of a whole system and those are big bucks!

Hillar, back in the day I always ran OEM mufflers from GM,  I got the mufflers made for the Turbo Corvairs. I don't know if they are still available but were long recognized as being the least backpressure muffler made. Of course you know I prefer quiet to noisy.

back in the day. i used to run the turbo corvair mufflers now i have the 40 series Flowmaster on my 55 gmc. I ordered them from the local napa while the owner was down at a distibutors show and i got him to bring back 2 sets for me. i think the other set is going on the 2+2

 

Yup, seems like everyone thinks the Super Turbos are too quiet.  Does anyone know of some clips where I could hear the Flowmaster 40's?

Last summer on the Laurentian's first trip out I stopped for gas. When I got out of the car some guy filling up his car said "Sounds sweet man". That was good enough for me!

I think I like the low back pressure Corvair mufflers idea best, I have mostly used stock mufflers on anything I had, a couple times I ran Walker turbo 400's but even they seem to be a strange loud-the best was probably my 66 Corvette with a 427/390 and side exhaust which are chambered pipes-I realize side exhaust is not an option but you can buy chambered pipes not sure how good that would sound with those long tailpipes, Camaro and Nova usually sounds nice.

My bike sets off car alarms so I dont think I could give good advise I like them loud! My belair had 3" dual's no mufflers it set off alarms to. I have a flow master on the wagon and it sound nice. But its pretty quite.
