79 ford w/460.. which muffler?

Ok.. I have a few questions! My truck has the stock exhaust from 79 (ya it's still holding up, and doesn't actaully need repalcing) But I want better flow! I don't want something that is extremely loud but I want a nice deep low tone. What should I get? I've read about dual flowmasters being loud but I don't want to be to extreme!
Any help would be appreciated!
Geoff

Flowmaster delta flow 40 series should be loud enough!

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 28-Aug-01 AT 01:58 PM (EST)[/font][p]Well, I have delta flow 50 series on my truck that aren't real loud until you tramp it in second or third.

Check out my website at http://members.home.net/mattjibb/sounds.html

Keep in mind that they are with a 22 year old M!
I will hopefully be putting up new sounds soon so you can tell what they sound like with my new motor!

Sporttruck: Flowmaster has sound charts on their website:

http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/fmtest/DOCS/SET.html

Also Bankspower.com has a muffler that is meant for motorhome performance. It is quiet, but authoritative.

Either of these companies have technicians that will help you select the best muffler for your truck. Still, there is nothing like actually hearing them.
