1968 Honda CB 350 Muffler Suggestions

I'm getting close to piecing together my '68 Honda 350. The last major purchase I need to make is mufflers and I'm looking for suggestions. I'm mainly looking for something that isn't too loud. I used shorties on my last project, and they left your ears ringing. As far as style, I'm looking for something like this.

Ear drum breakers if they are sourced from Asia, a friend was here last week with one on a Suzuki Savage (652cc single). Look great installed on traditional bikes, work fine if you don't mind loud. Most models aren't able to have new packing added, contact DCC and find out if these have a removable end cap. If so, you can fine tune the sound by adding more packing, dial it in to your liking, and be quite happy with them.

On a 60s p-twin, it doesn't get much better than Dunstalls or cocktail shakers for aesthetics.
 
I have an old Hooker 2 into 1 with a reverse cone like that on it. It's not perfect, it would need rechromed if you had a show quality bike, but there are no dents. It's a little on the loud side, but not as ridiculous as open headers or anything. PM me if you're interested I'll send you some pics. In fact I'll give it a once over maybe it can be repacked.
 
I went with the 24 megaphones. I think they'd sound similar.

They're not too loud at all, nice sound.
They're a little low on the KZ, and since I've decided to go tracker style on this bike, I'm going to eventually go with something more upswept or smaller for low slides around town. :p

I ended up ordering a set of these. http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-exhaust-parts-dunstall-reverse-cone-motorcycle-muffler-80-84051.html
They are similar to what I have on my other 175. Not too loud, with a nice throaty sound. I did contact Dime City by the way. They were quick to respond, and were very helpful.
Thanks for the info and suggestions.
