Compact muffler recommendations
I am finally looking to get rid of the abortion of an exhaust system the PO put on my Galaxie, but I don't have any room. It currently has a hacked-in dual exhaust, the right side is the stock pipe with a cap on the left side of the y, the left side is a new pipe, both with glasspacks and just pointing at the rear axle. I want to use the stock manifolds (high flow cast headers), add a crossover, and ditch the glasspacks with a Nascar-style side exit exhaust.
What I need is a decent sounding round muffler four inches or less in diameter, 2.25" in and out. I keep seeing straight-through glasspack style mufflers, and I don't want glasspacks, I don't like their sound.
Is there a muffler that will actually produce what I want?
I am not above making my own muffler, but the materials would cost me about $60 each and I'd rather not spend that much right now, not to mention the time it would take to handmake a pair of mufflers.

I had a shop make my custom catback that I use to have and for the dual back it used two I forgot what type of round muffler that they cut down to 6" and rewelded them back together. It was pretty darn loud but sounded good I thought. Not highpitched like the glasspacks but loud ecspecially at full throttle.

Yeah, I don't want a glasspack.
The hushpowers are nice, but pricey.
I'll probably just make them. I wish I had more room to play with, even another 1"-1.5" I would be able to use a regular dual in/out muffler.
