I'm not a fan of glass packs on most vehicles at all but to each his own. I'm planning on going with the flowmaster super 44.

This is what I called a 'roll steel' muffler back when I owned a muffler shop. This particular one is made from 16ga steel rolled into a 6" cylinder and is 26" long. Cut holes in each end and welded in 2.5" ID nipples to clamp to the front exhaust pipe and stock tail pipe. At the time of the vid the muffler was only about 2 weeks old and still had that peaky ring to the sound but the longer you run a roll steel the deeper the sound gets. This is as close to getting a V8 sound out of a V6 you'll ever get.
