Thanks for the input everyone, im still soooo confused what to get haha, I was set on the Magnaflow set up but now thinking thrush turbo I heard one and loved it, Way to many choices!! I'm thinking im fairly set on Thrush.

And 84Scottsdale454 they are definitely close to open header, if you don't want annoying then dont get the super 10's, simple as that haha i'd keep the 40's. Mine are sooo obnoxiously loud and all the time too, I loved it at first everywhere I drive heads turning and people staring at my truck, screaming up the road to my school everyone outside stops and looks hahaha but now it's getting sorta old, also waaay to much cop attention, I have had a few tell me to fix my exhaust or tell me to go home and that sort of stuff never actual tickets though luckily just warnings. I should have realized when the boxes for the super 10's say "Not for street use, race applications only"  ;)

I ran the 10 series on my 82 trans am for awhile and it is obnoxious. Maybe ok for a weekend toy that you don't drive far for any period of time but after even 10min of driving I got a headache. Mine stoped at the axle with no turndowns and no h or x pipe.

I think it was the carbon monoxide rather than the noise that gave you that headache....thats why I had to put tailpipes on my truck.

I put turndowns on it and it helped but it was so loud it sounded like a jackhammer in side the car.

Yeah exactly it's way to obnoxious for a daily driver as i found out lol and I had tail pipes too. Even on the highway it got irritating. I'm still going to keep them though for a different vehicle down the road.

A buddy at my work bought 2 Flowmaster super 44's for his 350 S10 but never used them so hes going to sell them to me, he says there a deep tone so I guess we will see! That solves my muffler problem though im pretty happy about it  :D now I just need to finish my truck and get it back on the road.. lol

you should try Moroso Spiral Flow Mufflers my Friend has them on his truck and his truck has a 383 with 3" exhaust and it sounds great. when he is going around town is really quite. but when he get on it it get louder but not to loud it sound like a truck should sound. going down the highway it sounds nice.

Thrush weld mufflers work great on my '82 with headers and true duals

Ive got the same set up on my truck now. has help up great. been on there for about a year and a half.  i used these after the mufflers http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=3821&ab=15803&recordID=80&vehicle=&orig=15803 absolutly loveeeee the way they look

Sounds awesome. Truck was an auto at first but then convert to stick. the sound difference was noticeable. this was all done with the same exhaust so keep that in mind with peoples opinions of sounds.
