Default edelbrock mufflers?

Does anybody have any experience with edelbrock mufflers? I was going to go with flowmaster 40 series but i was checking out the edelbrocks, and they advertise that they have like 6-10 more HP than the "leading competitor" (i'm assuming this is flowmaster), and they sound pretty cool from the sound clips. The only problem is, i dont think they'll be as loud. So, does anybody know anything about them? Are they really better than flowmasters?

Here are the sound clips:

You'd never gain 6-10hp by changing mufflers. From stock muffs to the edelbrock ones you'd be lucky to see 1 hp. Exhaust is by far the most expensive thing to change for almost no gains.

Yeah, one suggestion is not asking for advice about parking lights in a thread about mufflers.

Making a new most will get you more answers, but maybe your light switch is bad?
