ok im ditching the pypes violaotr muffler. keeping the o/r x pipe.
pick between:

Flow 40's
or

Magnaflows

or

Bassani's-seems to be my favorite and capable of making the loud and mean 5.0 sound like a mellow 4.6 modular(which i love).....back me up/or argue with me on this.....

I dont care for the Bassani sound. They are too loud and raspy IMHO. I like the Magnaflows but the last two I have had rusted out right away. Personally I like the MACs a little better then the Flowbastards. They have a deeper tone when used with a H-pipe, not sure how the sound with a X-pipe.

Some people will argue that they're played out, I will argue that no matter how "played out" they are, they still sound good. Actually IMO, they sound better than any other on a 5.0, throw in some headers and an off-road mid-pipe, and you have the classic 5.0 sound.

I also agree that MAC is the way to go but no matter what your gonna think about getting other mufflers. Just get what you want to get.

Bassanni BX all the way! They fit, look and flow great. But most importantly, they have that deep raspy, racey sound. Here's a few clips of my car. One driving the car pretty mellow, but you can get an idea of how they sound when you really get on it and one in the garage.

yeah it seems like bassani really can change the note of the 5.0. in MY opinion it seems that bassanis mimic 4.6's better than any other muffler..... but, i can get real life expereince and there is not as many clips out there. and there are two types of bassani... the 14" case and the 21" case.... the bigger/longer the mufflera different sound?
