Default GMMG vs. Stainless Works

I am planning on getting a chambered exhaust system by either Stainless Works or GMMG. I was wondering, in terms of sound, performance, price, and warranty, which is better, best bang for the buck? I was told that in terms of sound, they are pretty close. Does that mean that the Stainless Works sounds as mean as the GMMG? I have never heard a catback sound as mean as GMMG and I can't tell from the clip on Stainlessworks.net. Can someone who has heard them both fill me in? I don't have LTs and my TA has a stock cam. Basically my car is stock. It's a 2002 CETA. What would be the smarter choice? Sound is what I am most concerned about.

The link for the stainless works - http://www.stainlessworks.net/cart/p...roducts_id=819

best bang for the buck would be the loudmouth or magnaflow...not the GMMG or Stainlesss Works...kinda pricey. But you cant beat the sound of the GMMG - just amazing. My vote goes to the GMMG.

does the Stainless Works sounds as mean and beastly as the GMMG? From the clip it doesn't sound like it, but you can never tell by a single soundclip...

Well I haven't heard Stainless Works in real life but I would def go with GMMG hands down because its by far the best sound I've ever heard period on an F-Body.

I Never Heard SW Catback In person either but i was told by a few that it dose sound sweet as for SOUNDCLIPS. I am sure it dose not sound the same in Real LIfe. No sound CLIP dose. But they do make Good Exhaust. I am sure you would not be dissapointed If you got it.
