Thumbs down LT1 exhaust

Well i just about finished replaceing the fuel pump in my LT1. And the person who owned the car befor me did a really bad weld job on the muffler. About all the welds had been rusted and the metal around it just about breaks apart. So when i took the exhaust down the muffler broke off and the necks on it are about completly rusted away. So i was was looking at new mufflers and pipes online. and i cant make up my mind. What would yall say would be the best ones.

Where are you located? I have a crossflow style Magnaflow muffler with clean welds and chromed factory style tips that will be coming off soon. It will be hard to ship, so if you are not close to NW Florida, then it wouldn't be worth it. I could ship the muffler and the tips, then you could have a shop weld it all togethere for you. I am going the true dual route.

Check Youtube for videos, find one that you like the look/sound of and go for that. HP wise they're all going to be about the same...
