Powerstick vs Stainless Works chambered

So, you guys think I should go with a Powerstick chambered muffler or Stainless Works??? I'm looking to put one in the I pipe section of either a TSP Rumbler or LM. Which leads me to another question.
Do you think the LM or Rumbler would be louder than one another, with either a Powerstick or Stainless works in the I pipe??? ....Cuz the way I see it, is its just pipe, right??? The Rumbler is only $200, so why pay $400 when I'm just getting the same result.
Or, do you think there will be a difference in loudness/sound between the LM and Rumbler with a chambered muffler?
Thanks guys!

As for performance I'm not sure. The Powersticks are reputed to flow very well.

Hey, thanks for the detailed responce!!! appreciate it. To answer your question, yes I would just be replacing the LM resonator or Dynomax bullet in the I with a chambered muffler. I was going to run a Sweet Thunder, but people complain about a swooshing noise. I assume this is from the ST's 2.5" restrictive core. So hopefully with the Powerstick or Stainless Works, I wont get that rushing air noise, just the awesome sound! I wish I could hear it before I attempt it though, or talk to someone that has done it. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks guys!

I would assume the Stainless Works perform similar, but if they neck down then they might be more restrictive (I don't know if they are or not). I beleive (or at least have heard in the past) the GMMG mufflers are made by Stainless Works, not sure of the truth in this. But the GMMG is reputed to flow well.
I assume you would be replacing either the LM resonator or the Dynomax bullet in either case, or do you plan on running them combined with a chambered muffler?
Well if you want tips the Rumbler is a little bit more expensive I believe. Also I think it's only mild or aluminiumised steel where as the SLP is stainless steel.
The tubing is the same size on both, so if you only run the chamberd muffler then I can't see it really being different, if you combine it with the original muffler then yes it will be different.
