Anyone running the powerstick mufflers from classic chambered exhaust? There are several clips of them on youtube and they sound really tough on old american muscle. Here is a link to their website. http://www.classicchambered.com/classic/products.html

They do sound great, and they take up a whole lot less room too.

I have a friend who used chambered exhaust on his Camaro BBC ..... he ran the exhaust pipe all the way back exiting in the stock position under the rear bumper.

It had a nice mellow sound..... not as loud as one would expect from a long piece of pipe with no restriction or baffling inside..... with only dimpling from the outside to tone-down/mellow the exhaust note. I assume the powersticks are similar in design.

I used the "shorty Summit" muffler and was surprised how LOUD they are. Not much bigger in diameter than a tail pipe ..... so it you're looking for loud.....

With a few exceptions, I've almost always run the cheapo turbo mufflers. They are compact in length and thickness, but might be a problem width wise on some cars. The Austin is pretty cramped underneath, and they just barel fit in the open area I have. I've always found them to be loud enough, but not obnoxious.

Good info. I want loud but not overbearing. Cops are pretty cool here in the small town i live in. I was even thinking dynomax bullet mufflers but then seen the powersticks and they really seem to have the "old hotrod" sound.

I like the deep thumping sound not the one were it sounds like firecrackers going off when you accelerate. I have a set of these I was going to run... There called Power Effects.

That's why they make caps and cutouts for header collectors! If you want really loud just set up your headers with a dump collector you can open when you want to. That's why I put electric cutouts on the Austin. We used to pull over and uncap just before we got to a cruise area or show, but now I just hit the switch and instant open headers.

Those look cool Steve. Wonder how they sound?

Yeah they're not cheap, but Badlandz HPE makes the best, and the cheapest by far. Only electrics with 5 yr. warranty, and around $275 a pair (shipped) with switched control wiring kit.

Summit doesn't have sound clips....
