Flowmaster on a 4.9?

What would a Flowmaster muffler sound like on a cam'ed fuel injected 4.9L? Is there a muffler that will give the engine a nice tone without a loud annoying noise. I know these engines can sound windy so I would like to stay away from a set up that sounds like too much air or to much pop. I want to stick with the stock routing just a modern cat system and a better muffler.

Thanks
Patrick

I used a 2.5" dynomax ultraflow and supertrap diffuser disc on mine. I liked it. I'd suggest a cat back kit, but if you just want a muffler as long as it has a large expansion chamber it should sound good.

Well Im figuring on fabing up a custom system at my buddy's pipe shop. Id like to carry 2.5 or 2.75 in tube from cats back and tucking the muffler (whichever i decide to use) more or less in the stock location with the tail pipe coming out stock. Im in the middle of a frame off so this will all be easy. Thanks for the input

If you're looking for a chambered muffler with a nice tone without droning, take a look at the Edelbrock SDT. They have a very unique sound under accelleration, but actually quieten down at cruise RPMs.
Never heard one with a cam, but it should sound awesome.....
