Default Exhaust time. Which one?

I am looking to purchase an exhaust system for my 68 camaro with LS3. I know I want an X pipe and dumps before the rear axle. Any recomendations on what sounds the meanest?

I want my car to scare small children........ Also want to be able to hear the 231/236 cam I have in there.

Thanks

Spintechs would do it.

There's loud and there's obnoxious and everybody has different tastes, tollerance level. Flowmaster drones and I'm not a fan (although Raj's car sounds awesome in vids). Magnaflow have a throaty, muscle car growl and I like 'em. Borlas have that 'i kick a$$' sound IMO. Here's an LS3, x pipe and Borla XR1s:

Most likely a 2.5" or 3".

I just searched YouTube for some Spintechs. Yeah those would definitely make some brown spots in some pants.... Just what Im lookin for

John,
The only thing I would add is to reconsider dumps before the axle. They will make one whale of a mess under the car blowing dust, dirt, and debris everywhere! Just something to think about your car is too nicely detailed to deal with that all the time!

Both good advice!
Heres a video someone posted on Youtube a few years back of my old Mustang with 3" and Spintechs. Sounded cool, but loud!

The most frequently asked question about my car is what mufflers do you have. I've been told it sounds like a cup car by multiple people.
It's definitely not quiet when you're hard on the throttle but tolerable at low rpm and idle.
Vid from MMC last year

^^ Tim, that sound is so wicked man! I might have to check those out. Got any more sound clip of that thing?

John I have some 3" Spintechs locally I might be selling if you are interested. Here is what they sound like.
