Default Installed Flowmaster 40 on stock location...

Couldnt decide which muffler i wanted, i already bought my LT's and im getting rid of the cats, so i know i DO need a real muffler. I love flowmaster sound so i bought the 40, installed it like stock, but after the exit side, i installed a little y-pipe. Had it go behind the muffler and come out the other side to look stock. Havent installed the LT's yet or taken the cats off, but it sounds good and i bet it flows better than the 80. After my install, if i dont like it(which i doubt)im planning on just getting the 80. It supposedly doesnt flow good, but ill have lt's and no cats which should make up for it.

It looks okay......it does look smaller than the 80 and a lot smaller than the stock one.
I already tried the Magnaflow and the Dynomouth on my other SS. The dynomouth definitely sounded good but like i said, im taking the cats off and installing LT's and i know it will not sound good. Hopefully ill get the lt's installed this weekend. My last resource will be true duals, i know i will probably love them, but i wont get them unless they are all the way to the back.
