Monza Mufflers
Since I have decided to keep my 91, I'm going to be doing some different things to it. I'm not really impressed with the Flowmasters that I put on it. Has anyone installed these Monza mufflers that all the big catalogs advertise? They sure look good, but how do they sound?
I'm not really looking for a "glass pack" sound, but a deeper "throatier" sounding exhaust would be ok.
Feedback would be most appreciated! TIA

I had a set and junked em by accident. 
I liked the sound, yeah, they are just glasspacks.
Now, a glasspack on a chevy pickup with exhaust leaks, and monzas on a vette don't sound alike though.
I have a sound clip, but you can't hear the exhaust over the tires burning. No measureable resonance though. Glass packs don't resonate, performance mufflers do.

I've got a set on mine now. As CentralCoaster said, they are basically just glasspacks. The sound is nice, but toward the end of long drives, I always promise myself I will get real mufflers.
