The first one (fireball) has the best design and size. The dual tips one, last link, is awful. However, I think its funny that all of them say HP gains of like 10-15hp. You'll be lucky to get one horsepower from just changing the muffler.
I wouldn't pay anymore than 150 for a muffler, since you still have to pay to get it installed if you can't weld. When I was searching for one, I saw some for 240-300 bucks! Skunk2 comes to mind. You could get an OBX cat-back for 300 bucks. Hope I helped.

go with the first one...

imho a 3 inch tip is as big as you should go on an AE10x, anything bigger than 3.5" just looks silly.

do you have mods on your engine? if you are still running a stock engine, yought as well stick with the stock muffler and just put a polished tip. If you are after making the engine breathe more, go with a racing downpipe or headers. this should give you more power compared to a fartcan.

fartcan will only make your car loud. Full exhaust is the way to go and even then I'd put on a chambered muffler at the rear, and no the flow wont be compromised with a proper one.

get a turbo II muffler cherry bomb makes them pretty cheap dual chamber muffler its about 75%-85% free flow nice sound with out the decibal. you'll get sick of the really loud ones trust me i know i had a twin canister on my car changed to that much better just added a tip since somone messed up putting in a temp pipe set the tip back further. i think my muffler was about $17 then the tip was $10. works out better that way really.

Man none of those looks like it belongs on a 96 Toyota Corolla. You'll just be another ricer in everyone elses eye. Keep it clean and get something with a small but noticeable tip.
