 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.

Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.

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.

LOL....
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.

What makes the chambered exhaust different than a "normal" exhaust system? I have headers and otherwise stock pipes with the exception of no converter.
Although I wouldn't enjoy something louder I am curious as to what makes these different.

Get "onthe gas" with  a car with Chambered Exhaust pipes and YOU WILL KNOW before you get to 5 Mph...

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

I heard chambered exhaust on an '82 two years ago.
Very throaty when idleing.
I guess I should ride in it for an hour before I commit to putting them on mine.

I don't have chambered exhaust pipes.  But I do have Aero Chamber mufflers.  I think they are actually louder than Captn Bill's chamber system.  They are an actual chamber muffler.  You can see through them.
