I haven't personally seen anyone with the 40 series. Just the 10 series one chamber race mufflers. Those are what I had on my '02 Z. Over the axle is the better way to go, because with the under axle setup, you have to be careful when putting the car on a lift if you don't incorporate a way to remove the rear section. However, over the axle will cost ya some $$.

2 40 series mufflers would be hard to fit. The mufflers pictured above are the "10 series" or "single chamber" or "1 chamber" flowmasters. They are louder, meaner, and fit into tight spaces easier.

I have under the axle duals which used to be TSP duals dumped at the axle. I had an exhaust shop extend them to run out the rear and have been happy with them since. I have some 3-bolt flanges holding on the tail section in case I need to put the car on a 2-post lift or drop the rear end.
