The flowmaster web site has sound clips but I think its small block ford v-8. If you like that, the Y block will be even better. I have a set waiting to be installed, but a ways down the road.

Based on research and exchanging information with a lot of others, I chose the 50's. I think the 40's would probably sound better, but then you have to consider the sound inside the cab too. I went more conservative hoping the sound of the 50's will still be good but also give me a quiet ride in the cab on them long hauls to the next rod run. Unfortunately, I do not have my truck running yet to tell you if I am happy with them. I can tell you I have never heard a Y-Block that did not sound good.

I have the Flowmaster Hushpower mufflers without a crossover and headers. They have 2 1/2 inch input size and 2 1/4 outlet and 2 1/4 pipes in the stock 55 Tbird location. They are advertised as the sound of the 50's and do just that. I do not have any resonate issues and they sound good. Without the crossover pipe they tend to rap when I gear down and I love that. They are rated up to 400 HP and is the only drawback I have with them. I just looked on line to see if they offer a higher horspower option and could not even find any of the Hushpowers I have listed, I'll have to call them Monday to see if they still offer them and to see if they have them for higher horsepower. I just got my motor back from the machine shop yesterday so I can't do an audio right now but this youtube link has it at the yblock nationals a couple of years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeLX7xWxzj8

On the youtube Vic Correnti is showing from Charlies clips at the drags the black 56 bird with the white top is mine and it has hushpowers as well, and they do a great job producing the 50s sound. Vic, when I talked with them at flowmaster even though they say up to 400 hp I was told they can go some past the 400 hp max, they are just staying on the conservative side to play it safe.

Thanks Gary for the update about the 400 HP limit, I didn't think I wanted to replace them knowing what I paid for them.
