Yea they sound pretty much like the 40s except I think they are slightly louder than the 40s.

By the way, Welcome Aboard

I think they have a little less "whooshiness" to them if that makes any sense at all and have a more hollow sound at idle. They do sound good with the right setup though. I still swear up and down that a 40 series is louder though.

I have the 80 series on my 84, and maybe it's because it's a HO which have higher lift cams than most 3rd gens, I'm not sure, but mine is louder than other 3rd gens with the same setup. If I could do it over again though, I would go with the 40 series, I think the straight thru design probably flows better than the crossflow. I'm happy with Flowmaster products.

Also it has more of a "chugging" sound where the other cars with Flowmasters sound smoother, again maybe it's the HO setup.
