Mufflers for 87-93 5.0

Hi all.
I just posted questions about emissions testing, and would like to thank
those who responded. I've concluded my best bet would be to go ahead and
install ordinary tailpipes on my GT again.
However, the reason I had turndowns installed on it was for the great
sound it made.
Mine is an AOD, and I wanted the throatiest roar I could get within the
confines of my car.
I currently have Flowmaster 2-chamber mufflers, but cannot recall the
series.

Here's my question. Are there some mufflers for my car (90 GT) that
would be more aggressive sounding than the Flowmaster 2-chamber?
I'm hoping to offset giving up the turndowns for regular tailpipes by
going with a louder muffler.
Thanks for your input, and if you need any information from me to help
with your advice, I'll be happy to answer what I can.

from the truth. Where are you, white rabbit?

Wow, MORE aggressive than 2 chambers? I've got them on my '85 GT, and they
are LOUD. I mean, I definately wouldn't want anything louder. I guess it is
your car so you can do what you want to it, but I don't know if I would want
the cops hearing me from even farther away than they can now. And I am 22,
so I'm not a tired old fart :-)

I have a good idea for you.... Here is what I did with my 90 5.0 LX

No mufflers at all. Take them off and weld in resonators.

For best performance results get a nice set of headers and high flow cats
too.

It isn't as loud as you would expect and the right set of resonators will
keep you from getting that ugly "diesel truck" exhaust sound that is common
with missing or damaged mufflers. Everyone commented on how wicked it
sounded.

I have 2 chamber Flowmasters and if you don't use the tailpipes going
all the way out the back then the length of the pipes coming out of the
mufflers will determine how loud it is. You can actually play with this
by buying a couple of turn downs and some pieces straight pipe and
experiment with different lengths of pipe between the tips and the
muffler. You can go all the way from sensible to
waytoogoddamrediculousloudtothink on the inside. The latter totally
obscures the radio an conversation with a passenger.

Apparently just a young smartass! :-)

You could also direct the turndowns the other way and have the pressure
waves bounce off the floor pan.

Would be better to cut some holes in the floor pans so you have less
resistance to gas flow.

on board oxygen tank would be essential with this mod.

Then he could run some O2 over to the intake for some real boost.
