Default Stainless Works or Allen's?

Anyone use these exhaust products? I'm looking for a chambered system for my car, and appreciate any comments you may have. :seeya

I have Allen's Stainless Sidepipe Mufflers. They look as if they will last forever. Good quality. :)

I have chambered pipes that didn;t fit from day one, had to have a shop rebend them to fit. Exhaust is now something I do myself or have done locally.

I have the Allen's side exhaust system in stainless. I'm very happy with it. It sounds great and I don't think I will ever need to replace it.

I have Allens 304 SS pipes going to custom (self fabricated) DynoMax Ultra Flows at the back (all 304 SS system.) The fit was ok to good, no one copies the flattening of the pipes as they go under the differential bracket like was done by Chevy. They flatten them along the transmission tunnel then fail to flatten them at the most critical point in the system!

I used both the headers and 3" (C2 style) sidepipes from StainlessWorks - I'm happy with them - the welding is high quality - they sound great.

I have a "standard" Allen's exhaust system in my 75, it fit like a glove. Mike Allen really is very knowledgeable and knowing him, I think the fit on his chambered systems will be just as good.
