The 40 series Flowmasters are really loud, in my opinion. The 70 series don't sound too bad, though. Whatever you do, you shouldn't expect big block sound from the Rover engine. They just sound too smooth. I suppose if you installed a pretty radical cam, you might get something a little different, but I have a 4.0 block with a pretty decent cam in a Classic, and it still sounds pretty normal. I would guess that you will end up with some version of Flowmaster, given what you are looking for, if I was betting on it.
good to know about the droning and the borla. all this is good info, thanks.
