There are some nice kits out there. It all depends on what you're looking for with sound. I have a Flowmaster system on my 442. It does drone a bit at slower speeds but I'm good with that. It's just the way the 2 chambers are. The 3 chambers are not so bad. I've had them in the past and liked them.
Then there's Magnaflow. I've never had one of their systems, but there are of high quality and have excellent fit and finish.

I have the same question more or less. I have a 1972 cutlass as well(except mine has a 455) and I wanted to put an exhaust on it. I was wondering what everyone here recommends as far as pipe width, muffler type etc. My car is a convertible so I dont want it to be too loud but as of right now I dont hear much of anything at all! Another question i had was if it would be smart to replace the headers as well or if it doesnt make difference.
