Default Muffler Confusion

So i'm looking too put a new exhaust on my truck. I narrowed down too which muffle I want. While deciding, I saw their was two types. So my question is..whats the difference? Will one give me a better tone and more aggressive sound? Any help would be great... thanks!

Here's the one I origonally was going too get:

My 2 cents. Get a cat-back, you'll be glad you did.

I got a buddy who will put a muffler and bend everything a lot cheaper and make it a lot neater so that's why I'm going this route. I noticed they have different 40 series. This delta, an American thunder and just a reg. any difference in those sound wise?

Get the stainless steel one if you go flowmaster. However, I recommend Magnaflow.

I'm a magma flow man myself. I'm really stuck between the 40 series and the magnaflow muffler I had on my old 150. Such a hard decision!!

There's no quality comparison, the Magnaflow is the better built muffler, however as you know it gives that straight through sound, not the low rumble of a flowmaster. Flows tend to drone at highway speeds though.

I just felt that the muffler I had on my last 150 (which was also a 5.4) just didn't sound quite loud enough at idle. The take off was impressive though.. I'll prob end up with the magnaflow lol

Your other option with Magnaflow is a Magnapack, which has no batting to deaden the sound, or get a shorter muffler. My mustang isn't loud at idle but when she picks up and roars, it scares little kids and makes panties wet.
