Default Looking for Muffler Advice

I've been enjoying fixing up my Mustang. I think it's time to upgrade the factory muffler. I'm looking for something with a nice deep goan out the tailpipe and not sure which one to get. I heard that some mufflers sound great out the tailpipe and are able to keep it quieter inside the car.

I noticed that the muffler is welded to the exhaust system. Is this a do it yourself job or do I need a pro?

The thing I really want is the deep roar outside and minimal sounds inside the car.

Any advice or personal experiences regarging the work and what brand, etc would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mike

its been on for about 2 years. i have a stand alone system and a wide band. i looked at my mods, wrote a tune, made a few passes down the track while data logging. looked at my logs and adjusted from there. by untuned, i mean at the time that pass was made, the car had never been on the dyno. i was also running 9spi when i made that pass.

i have put it on the dyno last months, its running really rich down low, lean up top so we only did pulls to 5500 rpms but it still made 567rwhp @11psi. i plan to get back on the dyno later this month and hopefully work out my bugs so i can go up to 17psi. havent been back to the track since being on the dyno

i have magnaflows on my '03 and I really like them. There were really loud after I put long tubes and an O/R x pipe on. Since I installed new High Flow Cats this past weekend, it came down to a nice deep tone (I can also hear the supercharger alot more now, lol). I also have minimal drone at cruising speeds.
