The cannon will be louder. Oval's generally have a nicer sound but it all depends on the actual muffler - e.g. a low quality oval vs a quality cannon, etc.

All up to you though... Do the old exhaust trick - While installing, just hold the muffler up to the rest of your exhaust and squeeze a towel over it to seal it and get someone to rev it. Choose which one you like then install.

Good luck!

don't worry bout the original piping then. probably work out cheaper to get a custom cat-back put on with ur own muffler then buy a whole new muffler.
