Hey,
Most of the mustangs you hear running around are probally running a Flowmaster. Most people like the sound of them. I personally have only used Flows in my aftermarket exhaust upgrades cause i like the SOUND. But all in all its what YOU want.

I've got a 5.0 running 40 series Flows, and a Ram running a 30 series Flow. I'll probably put another 30 series on my Dakota when I get around to really doing the exhaust. I love the sound and I don't care if I lose a couple of HP over a Magnaflow. I've got a Flo-Pro on the Dak now and I don't like the sound as much - it's a magnaflow ripoff.
Im running magnaflow on my dak for about a year now, and i have recieved many many compliments on the strong sound but not the LOUD as hell sounds as the flowmaster, i will put on flowmasters next to see my person prefrence, but for me i'm 100% satisfied with my maganflow setup.

flowmasters come in a lot of different types
40 series = 2 chamber
30 series = 3 chamber (quieter)
I'm not sure how the 50 and others fit in, but the 70 series big block is what I had on my 99 grand cherokee with the 4.7L, it was a bit too quiet imho - it was about as loud as the 98 5.9 limited stock.
The 40 series on my 5.0 seems a bit too loud really, I mean it's cool, but it's damned loud.
