Ok, the answer to what sounds best is a matter of personal preference. You mentioned you want a deep note, but do you want it loud, moderate or quiet?

You cannot do true duals, so I assume that you want a dual outlet muffler.

Is this what you are looking for?

I put an FM40 on my sisters 4.0l with a 2.5" single exhaust. It doesn't sound good IMO, has no rumble or tone to it.

I'd keep the exhaust quiet, with maybe a larger turbo muffler.

yes i would be using a single in dual out style muffler, i want a moderate amount of noise, and as close to a smal block kind of sound as possible ( in comming years i will drop in a 5.0) however untill that point i need some nice pipes. think,.. classy sounding, not obnoxious. i was thinking flowmaster, but now lean twards a magnaflow, i have never had a v6, always a 5.0 or a powerstroke. so this is a bit new.

Go with the Flowmaster Series 50, not the 40. Deep sound, a little ouder than stock. Sounds great on a 3.0 or 4.0L.
