Thrush welded vs Flowmaster 40's?

I was wondering how much difference there are in the two, I've currently got 40 series on my car and think I want something a little quieter and with a little less drone in the interior. I have 2.5in exhaust with long tube headers and was wondering if the thrush welded mufflers might be a better choice for my car. The 40's I like, they just get a little too much attention at times, and a little noisy inside of the car. So basically I am wanting to find something that is quieter with less drone, if Thrush isn't it tell me what is. Thanks. :)

Also I don't know if it helps but I have a comp cams xe274h, I don't want to hide the sound of the cam, just quiet things down. I would also like the mufflers to be decent performance mufflers, not that I'll ever tell a difference.

The thrush dont sound as deep as the 40s , maybe a little tinny but there still loud. I love driving through wallmart parking lot, if theres a car alarm set with in 50 feet it goes off. Try Borla, ive heard some at the track and they are alot quite'er.

if its too loud inside the car, what about sound deadening? something aloing the lines of FAT MAT, or dyna mat?

I got xlerator mufflers on my car cause I was wanting to tone it down. I was running 18in glass pacts that dumped underneath the front seats. It was terrrible. I order Dynomax Hemi Superturbo mufflers but they wouldn't come close to fitting under my car. The exhaust shop got had the xlerator mufflers in stock. When I first got them I thought they were too quiet but they have burned in a little after the hundred miles or so and sound good.

People gripe when you don't use the search button and people gripe when you do. Is rather see the old threads brought back then answer the same question 500 million times but maybe that's just too practical for some.
