Do you recommend the Flowmaster 40 or 50 series mufflers?
Is there a site that i can hear the two of them to compare?

Are they both the same installation?
How difficult is this?

The major difference would be the sound level. 40's are louder with more drone. 50's are lower with less drone. It's a personal preference.
There are some who run 50's on here as well. They can have more input.
Yes, it's the same installation. BTW, have you deleted the U-bend? If not, it will help.

I haven't deleted my U-bend, but that was my next mod. Should I do that first?

Why not do them both at the same time?

Good question.
How much do you think the whole thing would cost?

Depends on what you want to do. The U-bend maybe $50-80. Shop around. If you're going to include the FM, it'll be more of course, maybe $200.
Here's another question for you to ponder. Are you going to stick with stock pipes or going to go wider? That will also help with HP. Granted, this will also up the price. BTW, this would be considered as a cat back system upgrade.
A lot of things to think about huh?

Go to Ebay store called performance peddler. They have deals on FM. The U-bend would be great along with going to a larger pipe. I would say at least 2.5 min. Others can have more input.

Where is the cheapest place to get flowmasters?
Where i looked at autopartswarehouse.com the 50 series were $93 a piece.
The 40 Series were $82 each.
