Default Chambered exhaust

I just completed the installation of a 2.5” full chambered exhaust system on my 1969 coupe. Tony at Allen Exhaust, the manufacturer, was extremely helpful in guiding me through the process of getting it properly aligned and fitted. The sound is exactly what I was looking for and replicates oem side exhaust without the expense of new covers and rear valance replacement and paint. A much better solution than Magnaflow, Thrush or Cherry Bombs at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend their product.

Default Hi and welcome!

I had chambered exhaust on my '74 for years.
Sound good and makes the car sound faster.

Do you by chance have any pictures of the system installed ? I just got mine today after ordering in August and have never been able to get anyone on the phone, It would be great to at least have a starting point for which pipe goes where, even a verbal description would help but pics would be great,
Thanks for any help you can offer !

some in my build thread, wanted some direction when I installed also - but when I installed figured out easy enough. Suggest pre-spraying bolts with penetrating oil of your choice for about a week....
