Two things I noticed, your track bar is way off, should be parallel with the ground at ride height. Is your driveshaft too short? I see a lot of the slip yoke in the one picture.
The 50 series flowmasters quieted everything down but it still has a good rumble. The cut outs are just to mess with 5.0's and rice burners, .

I had to move the mounting point down on the track bar (more pics in my build thread) because it was interferring with the aluminum rearend cover. It seems to work well at this location. I'm replacing the 4" drop springs with 6" drop springs so that should help level it out some.

As far as the driveshaft, it has approximately 2" that go into the transmission, I assume that is enough? I've got a couple more things that I'm going to do to the suspension that could affect that measurement, when I'm done with that I'll verify that everything is still good.
