thrush "welded" mufflers make some noise.
think flowmaster 40 for sound.
otherwise, if your a glasspack kinda gal, get the shortest ones you can and wait for them to blow out.
can't remember which member has them, but those moroso axial mufflers are suppose to be pretty good. those would probably have a sound half way between a glasspack and a flowmaster.

Welcome to FTE RedneckGirl!! So glad to hear you are NOT that kind of girl 
I have to say,, I had a 72 chebby,,, 400BB,,, 2 1/2" straight pipe,,, was awesome!!
You could keep it halfway quiet by keepin your foot out of it,,, but when you want it to sing,, hammer down baby and you gots NOISE,,,, sweet wonderful American motor music~!! On my 77 with the 351Measly,, I have a short small Ford "resonator" that looks like a 12" glasspack,,, I have had a LOT of good comments on it also
Again, Welcome to FTE

magnaflow sells "resonators" ... those might be worth a look-see.
Flowmaster 10's might be your flavor ... small and loud. that or anything that is marketed to the drag racing crowd.
straight pipes are loud, but i've not heard too many that sound "good" ... not without some kind of baffeling anyway, but that's just my opinion.

390FE, Hedman 89120s, 2.5-inch tubing, through Moroso Spiral Flows. It's plenty loud.. that's why both tubes dump in front of the right rear wheel.

I just finished up swapping the driver's side 460 header to a fenderwell exit header from L&L. It took a few weeks (stupid P.O. breaking bolts off in the cylinder head!) BUT HOLY HELL is it loud. I currently have one side running full exhaust (stock-ish) and the other side an open header, and it's stupidly loud. If you really want some noise, you need long-tubes and minimal mufflers. A resonator would help keep it reasonable - you could probably also run a 18-24" magnaflow straight-through turbo muffler and it would keep it loud, but not excessively so.
I can't wait to get the other side matched up (fenderwell exit) to hear how stupid it sounds without mufflers!
Then, I'll probably have to put some mufflers on it to keep it from having the neighbors call the cops on me - which would be exactly what I deserve for making them put up with my old smelly truck

I used flowmaster 10's on 2 1/2 dual pipes with 4" by 18" chrome tips on my drag truck. It would set off the car alarms down the whole block with just a blip of the throttle. Needless to say I got called in for noise a lot. I moved back out to the country after less than a month. Conversation in the cab was iffy, at the front of the truck was done at a yell, and you couldn't hear anything but truck at the back.
Going straight pipe unless smaller will actually kill power and torque and can damage the engine (no backpressure) Think over-rev!

I have that set-up on my truck. Plenty loud and it still has a good quality sound.
