I think the 40 is single outlet and the 80 is dual outlet.

I own a 80 series flow, I have it on my GTA with the L98. If I were you I wouldnt get it, the 80 has a very tinny sound to it a certain rpm's. It is not as muscle sounding as you may think.

Here is the american thunder cat back, dual 3" outlets.

He's right about that tinny sound at certain rpms, but i have also heard from several people that that sould goes away after awhile, we'll see.
