difference between 50 and 70 series flowmaster

basically i was looking for advice before i lay down a hundred bucks and still aint happy with what i got. i am way too loud now and need to tone it just right. i have a 351 w with a cam, ported heads, y pipe and no cats on a 93 f150. i have it all going through a 3 in jegs dual exhaust kit in dual 3 in pipes and some sort of junk muffler that is still too loud. i want it to semi quiet on idle, which is a bit more since it is cammed. and i want that classic mellow tone they describe using flowmaster 50 series 3 chamber mufflers. i am afraid if i lay down the money for the 50 series it will still be too loud because i have no cats, and if i get a 70 series i wont be happy because it will be too quiet on the acceleration. but i still dont want to bother the neighbors two blocks away...lol
any help is greatly appreciated,

Have you heard the sound clips on the flowmaster website? It's not your exact setup but it should give you some idea of the difference between them.

Check out http://www.exhaustsoundclips.com/ford.html and see if they have anything you like. I ran some 70 series on an old 76 F250, and I thought they sounded great. I dont understand how people can say 'yeah, my 40 series are too quiet'. Too quiet?!?!
