Stainless Works exhaust: Classic vs Redline

I am looking for the most aggressive/loudest version while keeping the original Stainless Works tone (no rasp). I keep going back and forth between the two. The company's take is that Redline is their most aggressive version, but it seems like it's due to it having more rasp, not actually being louder. Moreover, when Lethal Camaro reviewed both, "Redline" actually sounded quieter to him.

Can anyone with experience with either exhaust chime in? If I want their loudest version (volume wise, without the rasp), do I go Classic or Redline? I am not too concerned with the drone that the "Classic" supposedly has.

Thank you!

I’m debating this as well, except redline or legend. My only concern with redline is after headers but that may be a year or so (warranty). I don’t think a lot of folks have them yet.

Let me know how it goes when you finally get it. I go back and forth between legend and redline. Ive heard legend sounds awesome with headers, but other then SW videos I’ve not seen any others.

Sucks on the lead time, steel is hard to get right now. Markets seem to be bouncing back and there’s been a surge in demand it seems. Tank fabricators you name it are having hard times.

I wish there was a way to compare all 3 or hear them in person. If anyone has Redline or Classic in the DC area, I'd love to hear it and buy you a beer or something.

I’m out here in Cali. I have a three day weekend; maybe I can meet you all out in Kansas or Missouri to hear my redline axle back. It’s the right amount of loud but not that crazy loud like a MBRP setup. No regrets here other than I should have went with a cat back.

I didn’t think there was when I first installed but since I don’t DD anymore I seem to hear drone at freeway speeds 70-75. It’s fine, I have heard worse drone.
