I changed my mufflers last winter from 2 1/2" x 24" Lone Star mufflers to 3" x 28" COBRAPACK MUFFLER. My 302/354 dyno'ed at 402 rwhp 416 rwtq. I do not know how much I gained with the new muffler because I changed heads, cam, intake, TB, mass air, etc.
But I love the sound, loud but not to loud. I can cruise at 70 and talk to the passenger. I could not do that with to old mufflers. Nice deep rumble.
I highly recommend the Classic Cobrapack mufflers.
