VA won't let me run side exhausts and pass inspection. The book says exhaust cannot exit under or beside the passenger compartment.
same here in mass mang, only pickups can pull off side exits, some jeeps too, it varies, sucks oo, cause otherwise id run old school chromed side pipes....

The best answer for what kind of mufflers is NONE. Not loud at all - if you have the stock converters in place.

It's not really quiet by any means. My wife said the my '85 sounds 6000 times better than my '87 with straightpipes and converters did. It's less raspy and rough sounding. I tend to agree having gone with a decent muffler now..

My car sounded alot better with mufflers on instead of straight duals right off the cats. It was very rapsy sounding and not as deep as I thought it would be, and it was really noisy. I still have the original 128k cats and with the mufflers I have it sounds pretty deep and is even better at WOT, but I don't have the h-pipe though.
