deciding on which cheap muffler to buy--opinions?

I need a new muffler because mine is holey I'm probably going to be looking to sell my truck in a month or so, so really I don't want to spend much more on it unless its in its death garage. I'm pretty sure the three that I'm looking at would be in stock at Schucks, or at least, easy to acquire. The three choices are:
Maremont Cherry bomb
Thrush Turbo
or
Thrush Glasspack
Any opinions?
I would get a Flowmaster, but I don't feel like spending $100 on one right now. I have the money, I just don't feel like spending it Also, I'm aware ( at least I think) that those will make it loud and obnoxious....and right now I want it to be loud and obnoxious for the fun of it

x2 on the quiet. Leave your holy muff until you get a decent one.

You are going to waste $40. Just cut your muffler off.

What do you think would fit in the stock muffler location--center in/out, offset in/center out, center in/offset out?

I got a defender muffler from autozone for $30 and it's pretty quite, but still has a little rumble. If you are looking for a flowmaster type muffler get a thrush welded, they are an exact replaca of the flowmaster, yet only like $40 at advanced autoparts
