Default Sleeper exhaust????

I'm doing a v8 swap sometime next year and I'm not sure what I want to do for exhaust. My car will keep the appearance of a stock v6 stang but will have a 4.6L 3v w/ 6spd. I was originally just thinking about having LT's Prochamber, and strait pipes.

I just recently however had the idea of having a completely docile and quiet exhaust with electronic dumps after the LT's. I just want to ask you guys what you think? What kind of exhaust would you do? One thing is for sure, my car is definitely going to be a sleeper.

adding midmufflers and axlebacks (maybe one side with a turn down for looks) might work. i would definately keep an h-pipe (stock or a mac offroad prochamber for lt's) though, otherwise it will be extremely loud.

I'm running the Kooks LT w/catted H, Pypes MM and stock mufflers. I had to put the stockers back on for now because it trumpeted with just the MM's and headers. Now it has a nice deep sound but not very loud. Definitely a sleeper though and shocks some folks.

Just wondering, wouldn't be cheaper to sell your mustang privately and buy an 05+ Mustang GT?

This car was given to me as a present. Selling it is not an option, and I've already done the whole Turbo'd v6.

I'd want to keep it quiet until I open the electronic cutouts. I was just thinking about making it one bad *** sleeper. I haven't made up my mind though. I may just as well go LT's Mach prochamber, Pypes axleback deletes. NO MUFFLERS FTMFW!!!!!
