Default exhaust question

I have a '78 z28 with a 5.7L 350 that has hooker headers on it. It is a true duel exhaust with no cats already and the exhaust dumps right before the rear currently but im looking to finish the exhaust out the back of the car. Im not sure what kind of mufflers i should get, ive been looking around at everything from flowmasters to magnaflow. The camaro is insanely loud now, and im only looking tune the sound a little bit not silence it. I heard that magnaflows have great flow but will they still sound as mean? Any advice on what to do would be greatly appreciated.

There is nothing inside a flowmaster to burnout.A flowmaster is a shell full of baffles ,no glass
