I am in the market for an exhaust. I was looking a some Flowmaster 40 series. My buddy has them on his 3rd gen, true duals, and they sound deep an nasty! Money isn't really an issue, please help!

Thanks,
Jeffrey

The 40 series sounds good with no cat or a magnaflow cat. Nice and throaty/deep.
I prefer a magnaflow cat with a glass pack.

Keep in mind that the 4.7l and 5.7l exhaust sounds a bit different than your 5.9l.

I think mine is. Nothing from that cat to the rear bumper(didn't plan for it that way, just kinda happened). I'll post a vid with sound later.

Cherry Bomb! Either the Extreme or Glass Packs... and they won't kill your flow rate like a Flowmaster does!

I had a flowmaster 40 on my Indy for about 7months.
Hated it, only had 14" K&N, Eddy hdr/ypipe at the time I added it.(97)
Had deep but hollow tone to it at idle, got raspy/abnoxious wot above 4k rpms.
Cops hated it, had one crawl all over/under the truck with that exhaust on.

Eddy alum dual exit catback sounded pretty good but too quiet for my liking.

Magnaflow 3" exhaust was the ticket for me.
Deep tone at low rpms, good bark WOT with no raspyness at higher rpms.
