$221.00 from Summit for manifold back dual kit Just pick your offset in/out mufflers.

But a nice single exhaust isn't bad either.

You could fab up an all stainless side pipe exhaust. ;)
You must be registered for see images attach

Was about $400 to do that with me fabbing everything up. Pipes, mufflers, bends, flex, vee bands. Not including cost of headers as I had traded labor for them.

But should last forever.

For a single exhaust pick the longest muffler you can get under there.The longer the case the quieter the muffler.On a single exhaust 305 it will only be so loud anyway.It depends on what you want. A 20" case dynomax Super Turbo will sound nice and give a little more flow.

Everyone is overlooking pipe size. A single 2" or 2.25" exhaust pipe is fairly restrictive, even for a stock 305.

Also, ANY V8 can sound good and have a noticeable, healthy exhaust rumble if that's what you want. If it sounds like a$$, you're doing it wrong.

I am not looking for rumble...just adequate flow. Sounds like 2.25 single is restrictive?

2.5" would be ideal I'd think. 2.25" before the merge would be fine.

My K5 (350) setup is 2.25" and merge in a 3" pipe with a big muffler. Muffler is perforated tube with packing. Pulls good (as good as 260hp crate pulls :D) and has a nice deep not loud tone.
