What is the best muffler for a 1996 camaro v6?

So my factory muffler is pretty much rusted out. Time for a new one. Im looking at maybe a flowmaster super 44 series with dual outs. I am definitely going for a deep sounding muffler. As far as a v6 would go of course. Any objections or other suggestions?

BTW, I am just talking about the muffler, I am not looking for new headers, cat or resonator... Although I have been considering of getting some nice pacesetter headers one day...

Thank you!

I forgot to mention that it is a 3.8l v6. The good ol 3800 series II.
I know that sometimes the muffler will sound different between a 3.4l and a 3.8l.

you're going to be disapointed, I thinkyou should just get stock muffler, v6's just always sound bad with high flow mufflers unless they have turbo. It sounds good when you start it up and idle but that's about it.

Well Evolution I have to disagree with you. I think that when it comes down to it, something like this is very opinionated. I bought the super 44 and tried to have it installed, people told me, it couldn't be done. I sold it and had to buy the 80 series. I had it installed and it sounds MUCH better. I love it. One of the best investments ever. I do appreciate your input though and actually value your opinion, it just happens that I think otherwise. Here is a sound clip of it that I put together.

I would reccomend a magnaflow of some sort to stay away from the high rpm raspy sound of the flowmasters.
