You're going to get a lot of different answers on the muffler question. You could almost ask "what tires" or "what wax" should I buy.
My Corvette came with Flowmaster mufflers, and it definitely sounds like I have a V8 under the hood. I know a lot of people think that Flowmasters are to generic sounding for their Corvette (they don't want to sound like a Mustang). It is nice, deep, and almost too quiet (hopefully the new headers will help that).
My Mustang came with Magnaflow mufflers. I think the Mustang is louder than my corvette, but not nearly as deep (that could be 302cid VS 350cid). Whoever installed them put the mufflers underneath the driver's seat, so there is more cabin noise than I like.
Although, my Mustang will set off car alarms when I start it. My corvette does not.
Corsa and Borla are popular, and I see a lot of people putting them on C5 and C6 Corvettes (i'm pretty sure they'll fit a C3). They advertise more power and a sound that is a little less common (I think a Corvette should sound better than a mustang or truck).
What you might want to do is go to a car show. Listen to different cars (preferably corvettes with the same size engine) and see what sound you like. Otherwise, you won't know what your car will sound like until it is too late.
In response to the mufflers in the link, you'll notice they are for 1984-1990. It looks like the mufflers are built into the exhaust tips. I'm sure you could make them fit, but you might have to do a lot to modify your current exhaust.
