The Ford Barn

Anyone out there have experience building their own exhaust system from the headers back? Is it worth the effort or do I capitulate and just take it to the muffler shop? Welding and fab is not a problem for me.
Any thoughts on mufflers? Running a small block Ford with a warm roller cam and tube headers but I am up in the air on mufflers. Had Flowmaster 40's on a Mustang but they gave me splitting headaches from the resonance and noise. Don't want the same in the 34 but I want a noticeable but acceptable rumble. The car will be fully insulated and sound proofed. I appreciate the feedback.
