Alright so it seems my top candidates are:
1. A Steeda Catback
2. Mangnaflows
3. Bullitt exhaust?
If anyone else could vouch for these or offer something else by experience I would be just delighted
Also where would i go about to buy these catbacks/mufflers for a decent price ?
Thanks,
-Chris

That may work in Connecticut ("cruise at 1800RPMs in 5th gear")*, however here in Florida if you are not going 75-80 on I-95 you'll get run down by a semi...
Down here with the stock 3.27 gears the Flowmasters were devastating, as their peak harmonic DRONE was at 2150 rpm or so = 80 mph which is the minimum you can go without being run down. Even with the 3.73s it hit at 73 to 75 mph which was equally annoying...

You answered your own question. Keep the exhaust. Put a 4.10 in it. Cruising RPM's moved up, no drone.

The certain note the exhaust hits at a certain RPM.
My setup is: Headers, straight x pipe, with a very quite muffler, but the x pipe has an electric exhaust cutout to make it all straight pipe when I wanna be loud or hit a switch and quite as stock.
Very nice for speeding around town, turn heads and sound loud, hit the switch and no one would ever know it was you.
