Default Mufflers suggestion with custom exhaust.

I am thinking of going custom xpipe, and dual piping all the way to the mufflers.. so my Q is which universal mufflers do you guys reccomed I go with? Has any gone custom on a V8?

Can't you have your entire exhaust system custom made and just replace the tips with aftermarket ones?

Straight pipe with no mufflers you mean? Guess that would be really loud. I could just use the current invidia mufflers but they'd have to cut some parts of them.. and I rather sell them than do that.

Yeh, but our cars can sound similar if we formulate the right setup!
