I've got chambered true duals on mine and love them. Some people here at C3VR think this arrangement transfers too much noise to the corkpit, but I don't find that to be the case. I think my car sounds like it was meant to sound. Just my opinion.

I agree with Scott. I also have Performance Choice chambered exhaust. Sounds like a mid year with side pipes, the way a vette was ment to sound. Dennis, I hope you get that car running I want to see it.

I had chambered on the LT-1 and loved every bit of it, never worried about a radio cuz i liked the sound so much. john now has that great sound and I know he would say the same thing go for the chambered you will not be disappointed.

The reason my choices are limited is that I installed true dual pipes in Oct. '08. If I could turn the clock back a Chambered system would be great. I really don't want to buy another system.

The first replacement was an original Y-pipe and then I changed to the duals. So all I need is the mufflers although it would be interesing to go without. Evil%20Smile

Hey Indy,

If you're really interested in the chambered system, check back with MAM. I'm pretty sure they sell the chambered sections for their true dual system which they call "Turbo Tubes." And they surely have the rear sections of the system to finish it off w/o mufflers.

Just food for thought.

I did enough wrestling under the car mounting the pipes and I don't want to cut them to mount those tubes. I will decide soon on the muffler then order them. Thanks for the info.
