difference in sound?

im wanting to get a twin loop muffler for my 2.2

there are 2 different ones im looking at on ebay

this one:
2005 Chevy Cobalt Twin Loop Muffler - YouTube


or this one:


Was wondering if the shape of the second one would make it more raspier and less deep than the larger first one

VERY SURPRISED at how this sounds, ive heard several hondas with twin loops that sound like garbage! this is one of the best sounding stand alone muffler setups ive heard on a 2.2! very nice man, if tsudo on ebay wasnt $150 id jump on it.....BUT still considering alternative options because i am worried about the mid pipe being low and me being dropped.

its a cheap fix (cut it, rotate it, reweld and done).. any exhaust shop should be able to do it in 15 minutes

exhaust shops around here in MA have become very strick with exhaust work and have raised prices, that 15 minute job turns into 45 min-hr with moving the car in and out checking everything blah blah, and will end up costing $75-$100. Now why buy a cheap $150-$250 exhaust that needs $100 worth of work? thats my problem.

i'm lowered on eibach pro's and run 15" wheels and i've only ever scraped my gmpp resonator once in the year i've had it on, it's only about 5 to 6 inches off the ground but i just know how avoid things and take speed bumps and stuff... tsudo sounds decent but you get what you pay for, i've had friends hear my gmpp and want to buy it right away and it's lastest well so far (now i'm not arguing gmpp is better or nothing like that ). and dtown you're probably not going to get any performance out of the second one of those being that it has those tight bends in it but i don't know about the first one since i'm not sure how they work.. just my thoughts
