Default Exhaust for 1996 5.0L

Any recommendations on dual exhaust for a 1996 5.0L. I want it to sound aggressive and so somebody can hear it to.

You could do it the old fashion way, a good quiet muffler to make the cop's happy, and a cut-out to by pass the muffler and really make some noise.
We used to do this with 440 Magnums I am not pulling your leg, you could hear these monsters 6 or 7 miles away.

But the king of all loud engines was the supercharged air cooled V16's used in the 1937-1939 Auto Union Arrows ( Auto Union is now Audi) it was reported at the time you could hear these engines howling 20 miles away.

I have a dual set of Flowmasters 44s on a chevy 350, they have a great rumble at idle and sound awesome when you stomp on it. And, they're street legal (here anyways).

mike00988, do you have a welder or is this something you are going to have to have done by a shop?
