3rd Annual Midwest C Body Car Show

[sixpkrt]

So who's still getting their cars ready for Volo? With the show being only 3 months away, the NYer will be there, baring any unforeseen problems, and if work doesn't stop getting in the way.
I've got a table of parts in the shop that will be going on the car soon. New sway bar links and motor mounts will be arriving any day. When complete, I hope to have time to get her over to the muffle shop for new 2.5 pipes from the exhaust manifolds to the rear, with an H-pipe added. But, as for the mufflers, I'm thinking of going with either the Dynomax Ultra Flow Welded, or Borla S-Type. They're more aggressive than stock, but it's hard to hear how they'll sound when visiting the two manufacturers web pages.
Is anyone running either of these mufflers on their car, and if so, what's the drone like, if any?

I have no first-hand experience, but one guy told me that the Dynomax Ultra Flow Welded mufflers have just a bit of drone.
