Default Stainless Works Chambered catback

Anybody have a sound clip of the Stainless Works chambered catback? I've looked everywhere but cannot find a clip.

This is a full 3" catback exhaust system by the way, not like others which only have a 3" I-Pipe and drop down to 2.5" or 2.75" pipes out the back. Straight through design, like the SLP Loudmouth systems. Which should flow alot better then other catbacks out there. Test would be needed to confirm this though.

Im thinking of maybe going with it but its hard to drop that kind of cash on any exhaust system IMO. I like the GMMG but i also think it doesnt flow as good as it should because of its design. Im saving up for either the GMMG or maybe this one. If not, ill just go with the SLP Loudmouth and swap a Borla XR1 in there for a cheaper setup.

I have the 'system'.They used my car for prototyping in 2002.
What they put on was everything after the exhaust manifolds;flanging,tubing,Catgo hiflo cats(they also supplied 'test' pipes for in place of the cats-they couldn't let the car leave thier facility in an illegal form) to connect to their y-pipe,the main 'chamber',tubing to secondary chambers and exhaust tips. First thing I did was remove the chromed stainless tips,I'm old school and those tips looked 'rice'. Haven't had any problems with leaks or shifting/repositioning. Only thing I HAD to do was add hangers from the secondary chambers to the frame just inside the rear 'bumper' as they hung too low and sometimes would scrape upon entry of an incline.

Can you get a video of how your car sounds? The video i posted isnt really that good, and we could always use more videos of catbacks like this.
