Default Chambered Exhaust, Anyone?

I'm considering using a chambered exhaust with X pipe on my '77. I would like to eliminate the large, oval mufflers in the stock position for ground clearance as well as suspension. I don't want it to be too loud, though, maybe equal to a Magna Flow or Bola system. Any one with experience with these, and what's you opinion?

Not sure if I can compare to other systems. I removed mine it was just to loud and droning. I drive mine longer distances and after a couple of hours the thrill is gone. If you only do shorter trips it may be ok.

Thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I will be driving this car long distance.

I have them on a 73 Convertible and they are loud compared to a Magnaflow system I have on a 55 Chevrolet. Both of them drone at certain RPM's.
