well i did it
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-Dec-01 AT 05:51 PM (EST)]took my truck to a muffler shop to buy a flowmaster 40 series to bring home and gut the cats and put the hole system on my self after telling the guy at he shop what i wanted he told me he would cut both cats off run a y to the flowmaster and exit the muffler with two 2.5 tail pips that exit in front of the rr tire with stainless square tips all for $190 the truck sounds awwsome, and the power i picked up you can actually feel, one of the best sounding 302s iv heard in a while, even though i cant get an inspection sticker now, i still think it was worth it, the best thing about it it dosent sound like a mustang it sounds like a truck, anyway i thought i would let someone know what system im using, im very pleased, the muffler i used was the flowmaster 40s with the 3" in and dual 2.5 out...now if i can find that person that sales those inspection stickers out of the back of his truck i should be fine ;-)

well i did it
Glad to hear you're happy with it..... I'll be needing to fill up my '85 Bronco late this week, for the first full tank on my new exhaust. (I changed it out in the middle of a tank, and though I expected my mileage to go up slightly, it actually went down by 1.2 MPG. This doesn't surprise or bother me, though, because until I got used to it I just couldn't seem to keep my foot out of it 
). I know it'll be better this tankful, because I've been driving a little closer to normal. I went with a Bassani high-performance Y-pipe and cat. This is smog legal, but eliminates the pre-cat and just uses a 3" high-flow. This runs into a 3" in, dual 2.5" out Flowmaster 50 series. Quiet at idle (with a low rumble), sounds good on acceleration, but you can't hear it inside. My only gripe is, with the 2.5" pipes running off of the manifolds, I get a header "tick" when the engine is under load. It always did that, and every old Chevelle, Mustang, etc. I've been around that had big headers had it, but it just seems to have amplified slightly with the bigger pipes. Shorty headers might actually quiet it, and it could be the change from a more restrictive manifold to an open, large diameter pipe. Who knows? I am getting more power, and I'm the only one who can hear it (since I'm listening for it). Two clicks upward on the stereo - problem solved!
