Since Lonnie is talking about exhaust, I need to put a system on after I get the new motor back in. With chamber exhaust on a coupe, can you carry on a normal converstaion at freeway speeds. Most of my time spent driving is at 70 to 75 mph. Don't want something thats going to give me a headach after a hour. The motor is a 350 with Hooker Comp headers.

[QUOTE=bio11] Does the Chambered System use the same brackets, Mr Mako said something about a transmission bracket? I had a 68 435HP convertable in high school that had chambered side pipes, with them under the car will it sound about the same? That was such a sweet sound.[/QUOTE]
All big blocks used the 2 1/2" exhaust, so the bracket at the trans should work just fine.
When the time comes to replace the exh on the '74, it will be replaced with the undercar chambered system.

I had the emission control removed and had straight pipes added, replaced the mufflers with Monza mufflers. The sound is great and according to Eckler's each muffler adds 15 hp and although some say removing the emission control doesn't help the hp, thats not what my 77 says, she flies. Gene (removing the emission control is not legal)
I have the chambered exhaust with heddman headers, she sounds sweet, a low rumble in idle and a kicka-- roar when I get into it,I got them from Eklers,,all hardware came with them, just a little welding for the brackets,,you will love it,,rd
Cmon !! What is cooler then shiny 4 inch sidepipes that get to be about 1000 degrees. Ouch !!
Look really good, sound really good, be careful if you do not have a protective shield. You can't go wrong either way.
