Default Good Throaty Muffler Options

I'm looking for an oval type muffler because it looks more oem than a big circle one thats common with Apexi, Greddy, HKS, etc. But i would like the muffler to have a nice, deep, throaty sound similar to the apexi gt spec.

Are there any good mufflers out there that sound similar to the apexi gt spec but are oval in shape? Some help would be awesome, i'm trying to get my exhaust done within the next week or two. thanks

and is there a specific model muffler i should be looking for? or just any magnaflow muffler?

also, is there a place to get a pair of good looking 4" oval tips? I was thinking about getting some from vibrant performance but didn't know how good the quality was or if there was something better. If someone can chime in on this lmk. thanks

Love my magnaflows. Quiet when you need it, and a beast when you open it up.

currently its just open pipe back to the mufflers from the cats. I need/want to delete them and just have it open the whole way....

magnaflow 14829's they sit pretty flush(clean) with the '96 below bumpers.

SC300 n/a nothing other than an intake that i rigged up.

I think some guys used to run borla's on the SC as well. I seem to remember them being deeper than most of the magnaflows.
