Default To Glasspack or not to Glasspack?

OK, I have been digesting all the millions of Exhaust threads on here,specifically the ones dealing with MDS. Considering all the drone complaints and such, I am thinking maybe I will just leave my stock resonators in place to help deal with the MDS and just replace the muffler. I am actually considering going with a good ol' 3" Cherry Bomb Glasspack where the stocker is now,anybody think this will be a bad idea? Beyond that I would go with an AT3030 I think. I know everyone loves thier Magnaflows and Flowmasters but I like being different than everyone else.
Thoughts?

magnaflow has a lifetime guarantee and glass packs die out around 40000 miles. u will blow all the fiberglass packing out of it by then!! and the at3030 sounds great!! and looks to be a good product but it is hard to believe it will last a really long time when it is that complicated inside...but u never know...it may be the longest lasting out of them all...its up to u!

Did you keep both stock resonators or just one?

Its amazing how many glasspacks are sold. They are pretty much a straight pipe with a little fiberglass around the inside. Sound is crazy as hell though. I say go glasspack.

Get Glasspacks. So what if they burn out in 40k miles? You can go through 3 or 4 before you spend the same money you would on a big name brand muffler. Plus glasspacks are just mad nasty.
