I think the quality between all their mufflers is probably the same. The differences are that the 40 seriess are a 2 chamber muffler and the 50 series a 3 chamber.................translation 50 series sounds nice and 40 series roars :reddevil

deltaflows are 8db quieter than the normal ones, its a little deflector they have inside, they say it gives more power and better MPG (yeah right :rolleyes: ) stick with non-delta.

You should be able to find a 40 series that will fit your stock 2.25" y-pipe. I chose to upgrade my front and rear y-pipes to 2.5" when I had mine put on. If you go the stock pipe route you'll just need to make sure you get a muffler with a 2.25 offset/inlet and a 2.25 center/outlet. You'll probably need a muffler shop to weld everything up for you. The 40 series mufflers sound great, but one thing to be aware of before you put them on is that you will have a good deal of interior resonance, so if that bothers you it may be best to chose a different muffler.

What are you- 16? I bet you're looking to slap some 6" pipe on back too, right? How about a screaming chicken decal for the hood of the Trans Am? Dingo boots? Butchy goatee? Dude- you're awwwwweeesuuummeee........ :D
One of the general rules of the Forum is you DON'T make posts like this. Maybe by the time you get to 10 posts you will figure this out.

so, would 2 flowmaster mufflers (#425432) work if i were to go a custom y-pipe made? they are single 2.50" in and dual 2.25" outs.
