Twin, go on you tube and do searches for different mufflers.
The engine, level of tune, total exhaust length and other things can change the sound some, but you can get a pretty good idea what each muffler sounds like.
One thing to keep in mind is that it is a long length of tubing with noise going in one end. The result is a fixed trombone. It will have resonant frequencies and should be tuned so you don't get droning. A van with a droning exhaust is going to be ugly inside!

also the longer the pipes are the quiter the exaust is. loudest in front of the rear tires. i wanted alittle sound so i used a walker muffler and exited behind the rear tires. the same muffler would be louder in front of the tires. i think you can also go on flow master to hear the differnt mufflers. i lost 30 percent of my hearing so it didn't do much for me...

I am running the 318 in my 108. I put a 2 1/2" dual exhaust (no headers) that exits right in front of the rear tires. I am running the flowtech afterburner mufflers from summit racing. They sound pretty good to me.
