Default Willcox Chambered Exhaust

Considering a chambered exhaust from Willcox for my '69 L46. Can anyone explain the difference (besides price) between the two systems that they offer (see picture - Part # CHAM01 vs. CHAM02)? And, if you have experience with either of them, I'd like your opinion on installation, fit, quality and sound.

I think that's the difference between Part # CHAM01 "Exhaust I" and CHAM01 "Exhaust II", but I can't tell the difference between CHAM01 and CHAM02.

Looks like the one on the right has chambered pipes for the final pipe whereas the ones for cham02 kit are straight through. T

I had the CHAM02 and every time I would lift off the gas it would backfire, popping noise. I called the the exhaust manufacturer and he said to get the chambered tailpipes. The popping noise stopped after I installed them.They sound great. You want to get the CHAM01 Exhaust II.

Thanks. Exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Certainly don't backfiring!
