My suggestion (like others on this board) is to persue a custom bent setup using universal SS silencers and tips.

The sound of muscle cars is most characterized by their valvetrain... a large displacement, pushrod engine sounds very different than our a 4L, DOHC. An louder exhaust system will simply magnify the noise the engine is producing... sure it can mellow it out or excentuate the chatter, but ultimately, the type of noise is unchanged. That "type" is defined by the mill, not the exhaust.
