I run dual exhaust on a 390 with cherry bombs and it sounds okay. Headers might make it a bit loud in the cab on the highway.

Yeah it'll sound fine as long as you get longer ones. The thing to remember about glasspacks is that the longer they are, the deeper they sound. If they are short, then they sound poppy. I wouldn't get anything shorter than 24" and I'd look for something like 36". It won't be as loud but you'll be happier with the sound quality. Also remember they have a break in period. Also go ahead and put in an H pipe and some long 3"ish tips while you're at it, both of these will smooth the sound out. And you can pick up glasspacks at kragen's for 20 bucks anytime.

kragens/shucks, depending on where you live. I didn't think it was a big deal I see cherry bombs for 15-25 bucks retail. and as for the break in period, it's anywhere from a few weeks to a few months in which the fiberglass packing inside the muffler burns out. It will get louder during this time.
