I spent a little time today to finish up the remaining two inserts for the exhaust tips. They turned out pretty good.

One is a little crooked but I'm sure I'll be the only one in the world to notice it

I finished some more odds and ends today. It's funny when I think to myself "this isn't very exciting" but then realize it all has to get done!

A little bit of exhaust work, trimming, and a start on my electronics rack.

Yeah, I'm doing a standard trunk latch and popping mechanism. Electronic popper and emergency cable. I ordered the same parts I have on my Subaru because I have "history" with those on my car

Another good afternoon spent in the garage! The exhaust Y-Pipes have now been fabricated which gets me one step closer to bolting them on.

Nice Depending on the application they are the next step up from the 10-Series mufflers, Flowmasters' most aggressive sounding muffler that I know of. That deep rumble those 40's should produce will not only announce your rides' presence, it will command respect and awe before anybody even really see's the actual car. Seeing your bat will only compound that.

Im trying to decide whether i want The Super 10s or the 40 series from Flowmaster. I want a loud throaty sound but I know some mufflers can make a raspy sound when you throttle on the gas. I do not like the raspy/ rattling sound.

Seems I have a bat in my belfry

Try finding a couple video's on youtube of cars that have the same/similar engine as you but with the mufflers you are thinking of. That way it gives you a idea of what yours will eventually sound like. Other factors such as design and spacing may also dictate what you'll eventually install. For instance, the 89' I'm in the design process of will have Fords modular 5.0 block and, rather the typical rear axle, a fully independent suspension from a Ford MN-12 is to be utilized instead. With that I would not have the room to run a muffler the size of the 40 Series as it's too long. The 10 series would fit just right.
A preview to how it may sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMgksMjbykw

engine is a 4.6 DOHC instead of the 5.0 but similar mechanical design.
