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

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.

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.
