Muffler: Spintech or classic chambered Powerstick?
I'm building my own exhaust with the 3" dynomax intermediate pipe, and I'm trying to decide what muffler to use. I'm basically down to either a spintech or a classic chambered. I don't suppose there's anybody here that's heard both on the same car that can give opinions on the type of tone each produces?
Here are two sound clips that are both supposed to be on stock L98s.
Spintech: http://nvlsonline.org/3rdgen/3inspintech.mp3
Powerstick: Putfile - Powerstick Chambered tube on L98
That powerstick is Orr's car, and he's got the muffler in the intermediate pipe. Mine would be positioned in the normal muffler location, so that will likely effect the tone to an extent.
My motor is a TPI 350 with 10:1 compression and a 214/224 112lsa cam. In other words, my car should have a bit more agressive sound than either of the two in the sound clips.
The tone I like best is that tinny (but deep) sound that virtually every 69 camaro at any car show tends to have. I want the car loud, but I don't want it to sound like an LG4 with a glass pack.
Suggestions?

Just pulled the trigger and went with the Spintech. The sad thing is, I'm in this for around $400 on an exhaust I have to put together myself. For a few bucks more I could have just gone with the 3.5" mufflex, but at least I won't have to worry about ground-clearance issues so much with this one, and I'm making the muffler modular so I can swap it for other mufflers if I choose.
I better brush up on my welding.
