Default PLEASE! I need help, or some serious pain killers!!!-WHICH MUFFLER TO GO WITH???

Making this decision is driving me crazy...

I've been doing countless hours of research trying to find the perfect muffler for the sound I'm looking for on my 1997 Mustang Cobra.

I think I've narrowed it down to either one of the following, but not set on them if there is something else that would do the job:
Flowmaster Super 44
Flowmaster Delta Flow 40

Magnaflow XL Turbo
Magaflow PN#11235

What I want (and yes I know it isn't the way most would go), but is to replace JUST the muffler and leave the rest stock.
The sound I want is a fairly deep, loud, old school mustang muscle car sound on the inside, but I don't want to create hearing problems on the inside of the car. Ideally, it would be great if the sound was there (on the outside) at idle AND when getting on it/letting of it, but if I have to sacrifice the idle sound, that is fine.

I know, I'm picky, ****, whatever, but I can't change that after 40 years of life.

I'm tired of calling manufacturers and dealers and thought I would turn to the true experts, the owners.

Anyone have some good direction to give me? I appreciate it in advance if there is anything you can do to help me out.

THanks...

I have Flowmaster Super 44's on my GT. I like them and I've gotten compliments on the car's sound before too. It's pretty loud (I took off 2 cats) outside and inside it's not overly loud, you can have a conversation easily.

I think the Super 44's have the sound you're going for, but check out YouTube for exhaust sound clips if you need more help.

i just had borla stinger cat back put on my mustang yesterday. ive only drove the car probably 50 miles since having it on but have done some highway and in town driving and i must say for a bone stock 2 valve minus the exhaust the thing sounds amazing!!! great deep idle, sounds like a true muscle car will you stomp it and heads will turn but just cruising with rpms at 2k or under sounds like stock. cant even hear it but if you lay into it, it opens wide up!!


here is a quick clip i took yesterday. ignore my phone getting a text and wind noise at end top was down

Thanks, but I'm not even sure Borla is an option for a 1997.
