Question StainlessWorks???

I've heard Stainlessworks makes some nice exhaust systems, headers, etc, good products.
What about the chambered round mufflers, no rasp and deep throaty sound? would it sound as good as GMMG since they are their supplier?
Also, there are many to choose from, which one would u recommend me? would I need anything else besides the muffler to get a great sound (my car is 100% stock, and I just wanna get rid of the stock sound)?

Thanks for your help!

I got to drive a chambered exhaust setup with LG headers, and it was rediculous.. beautiful... awe inspiring! If my car didn't come w/ Borla I would go w/ either SW or GMMG chambered setup.

No rasp, and sound was mint. One thing I don't like about SW chambered setup is the chambers are close to tips, and kinda makes a funky look.. but noone sees that anyways..

Definately a vote for SW catback

I had a bad experience with SW y-pipe not fitting correctly. I ended up sending it back to get my money back. The sound and performance I liked but the quality and customer service could have been alot better.

I'm not sure that stainless works makes the gmmg catback, because from what I've heard, the SW's have packing inside of the chambers. I'm not positive though......

Stainless Works does NOT make the GMMG.

One nice thing is how 304 Stainless steel has a unique sound, say compared to aluminized metal or even 409 steel. Stainless Works uses 304 steel. The y-pipe takes a little effort to fit, and I had mine welded for peace of mind.

Thanks guys!

Doesn't StainlessWorks supply GMMG of chambered mufflers in order for them (GMMG) to work and finish the systems and mak'em as popular as they are today?

What would be the right round chambered muffler for my stock fbody and for a great sound? 3"? 2.5"? 2 1/4"? they are $154.99 or $124.99, what is the difference?

just get what fits, you will like the sound alot. I have their headers/y/chamberred exhaust and it sounds great.

I think I have some sound clips from the dyno runs at
