I've been thinking of either the 40 series for the 50 series.

So yeah, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
My first question is: how loud do you want it.

I asked myself that before I bought my muffler. I didn't want anything that would drone on the freeway and give me a headache. But I did want something that I could hear when I step on the gas. I also didn't want a raspy high pitched sound. I took all of my thoughts to Bountiful Muffler (just outside SLC). They narrowed it down to a Flowmaster 50 series or a Flowmaster 60 series. From what they told me, the 60 series is made for 4 & 6 cyl applications, it cuts out the high raspy sounds and I only hear the low roar.

I ended up buying the 60 series, and I haven't been disappointed! I don't hear it on the freeway (no drone!!) but when I step on the gas, the muffler is just a tad louder than my S/C whine. It sounds great! At idle and in the city it sounds like a V8.
