A Windsor is not going to sound anything like an LS with the same muffler.

Yep totally understand that. Just worried about the pitch and drone. Iam leaning towards black widow. Borla is a little too loud and Magna flow is too quiet I think but we will see tomorrow at the muffler shop I'll hear the MF mufflers he's a dealer for them.
Thanks for the help

I had 3" Flowmasters, and they were Racecar loud!! Inside and outside. I have put on Dynomax Super Turbos, and MUCH better, much nicer sound but still noisy when you push the go-pedal. Very nice sound I think, a bit "beefy" sound, some drone, but like an Cadillac compared to the Flowmasters..

I think that big cubes, cam and compression, is hard to keep noise down with 3" exhaust or just 2 mufflers.

I'm running these "mufflers".... haven't heard it yet but can't wait. Getting close.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-24216

437 cubes
13:1 compression
264/274 @ .050 cam

Should make some noise.

Another point is what is loud or obnoxious to one might be sweet sweet music to another.

I had a set of Flowmaster 50 series on my 1968 Mustang Convertible. They sounded fine but the drone killed me. I got rid of them and went to a set of Magnaflow mufflers. They soud quite a bit louder but nice. They have a raspy sound to them when you get into it. My car has a supercharged 333 SBF. I like them but my wife says they are too loud and can hear me from a mile away when I come home.

They make earplugs for that I think.

Complaints like that are why they have divorce courts.
