Better sound (IMO) would be Flowmaster between those three choices. Would sound are you after, though? It's all subjective from person to person what sounds better.

You just need a muffler to get the sound you`re looking for.

Just make sure not to listen to the constant lies posted by naive people about flowmasters causing power loss and stating that it`s dyno proven when i have never seen anyone actually post the proof.

Here`s a link to a muffler comparison test done on a dyno. The test is done with a mustang but it gives a good idea of the differences between the brands.

I have a flowmaster cat back system with a 50 series muffler and i could immediately feel a noticeable gain in the mid to upper rpm range.

As far as any noticeable mpg increase or off the line power, you won`t feel much.

You can accomplish that with just a muffler. IMO flowmaster 40 series mufflers have the best deep, loud rumble but I'd do some research on YouTube to determine what muffler gives you exactly the sound you want....

i say get a flomaster super 44 but its not street legal (says race purposes only) but i had one on my xl and loved it also felt a noticable power gain on the upper rpms. i had mine mounted up-side-down so you couldn't see the super 44 on it.

i think flowmasters are the biggest joke ever they sound like crap imo and dont do much. just get a magnaflow. i have 1 on my hoe amd it is the perfect sound low deep rumble loud at wot and not annoying cruising. sometimes i dont even turn radio on just roll down windows and listen to the ponies not that i have many haha
