Default Magnaflow 3 Chamber?

Well one day last week I ordered a Magnaflow muffler from a speed shop a couple of hours away, expecting it to be the AL(2 chamber?) muffler. I just got it in today and it is the 3 chamber XL Turbo muffler, the cheap($38) sound canceling thing that I just read about on the net..

Well my question is, has anyone had any experience with one of these? If it is what I read it was, it will be too quite(I wanted a kinda loud, really deep sound), and it won't be worth what I paid for it($70)..

What would you guys do? Go ahead and install it Thursday and see if it proves me wrong, or drive 2 hours to take it back and reorder the one I wanted?

We do in fact make chambered mufflers .. our MagnaFlow XL line is just that.
We just dont use them in our catbacks:

Definately a different sound than our traditional product line. It is a littel more restrictive than our straigh through designs HOWEVER is has a different note. I woudl not call it quiet .. it is louder on average than our regular mufflers.
