Topic: Chambered Exhaust
in Forum: C3 Fuel, Emission Control, and Exhaust Systems
I put my new chambered exhaust on Saturday morning.What a sound, hearing every cylinder fire!. When I get on it, makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, WHAT A RUSH !. Like 1965 again.

very awsome sound in deed. I had that same feeling when I fired mine up for the first time, truly the sound I wanted. The best part of the chambered system, my daughter, who has celerbral palsy, didn't really like riding in corvette when we first got it, but the first time she rode in it after the pipes were on it she squealed and laughed so loud, it was the greatest feeling.
congrads on your new sound, enjoy them.

Let me know how you feel after running an hour or two with the tops on...or one hour with the tops on and the windows up...
Honestly I have a set of Chambered exhausts on my 72 Convertible right now....TOOK THEM OFF the 79 Coupe becuase they were unbearable with the tops on the car...also installed them on my 76 Coupe with the same result...
Its not like I have great hearing...hell I am completely deaf in one ear
On a Copnvertible they "worK"... or I would not have spent the money
to put chambered exhaust on my 64 convertible... BUT at least in my case they DO NOT WORK on either of my coupes...
Just my thoughts...

Bob, have'nt been out in the Vette to try them out yet. My Wife had her gallbladder out been spending my time with her at the hospital. Today I'm going for a cruise to try it out. I get back to you on my thoughts.

Although I wouldn't enjoy something louder I am curious as to what makes these different.

Seriously I run chambered exhausts in both
my 64 & 72 Convertibles...
BUT NOT in any of my coupes...
The pipes are the exact same design (and effect) as The pipes on Mid Year Side pipe cars...
There IS NO MUFFLER...other then the dimples in the exhaust pipes themselves...sort of like running NO Exhaust as you can get...LOL

Went for a long criuse today.Went in town,up I-78,down some twisty back roads. Gave her a real good workout.Put 107 miles on the Vette,and love that sound !
. If I want a smooth ride with no noise I'll take my Wifes Buick LaSabre. LOL!

Very throaty when idleing.
I guess I should ride in it for an hour before I commit to putting them on mine.
