Chambered exhaust mpeg
I finally got around to updating my Home Page(changed it from the '74 vette to the '71) and added a mpeg of the chambered exhaust. In the garage you can't even hold a conversation with the vette running, but as you can tell by the mpeg outside it is not that loud. "Click" on Home Page in my signature and go all the way down the page to the right. I didn't want to put it up top and really pizz Roadrunner off. :D

The link doesn't work for me either but most sound files don't. :crazy:

Just got my chambered exhaust on and love the sound! But how much ground clearance do you have??? I'm afraid I'll rip the whole thing off on the first speed bump!

This vette does not see anything but sun, so I used The Wax Shop's "Safe Cut" and stripped all the wax off. It's great for new paint jobs as a finish.

Sounds good!! Lots more mellow than mine. Actually, I expected ours to sound similar since there is very little muffling going on, but I was wrong. Yours sounds lots mellower, while mine is more, well, less mellow. Of course, it could be the recording. Mine was taken using a Sony FD92.

Re: Chambered exhaust mpeg (Brettmc)
Brett,
I clicked on your mpeg and your's definitely has a deeper sound. It appears though that you were in an enclosed area(garage) shooting that mpeg while I moved the camera outside. Like I said in the opening, inside my garage you can't even hold a conversation when the engine is running now. Your's really sounds cool! Do you have stainless chambered exhaust or the aluminim versions like I bought from Allen's? I wondered if there would be a difference in the tone between the two.

Re: Chambered exhaust mpeg (Corz)
This again proves to me that it makes a huge difference wether you have headers with the chambered exhausts or the stock ram type manifold - with headers the sound is really wild compared to stocks. Friend of mine got chambereds with stock manifolds and small block - to be honest, it almost dissapointed me a bit and I am glad that I have got headers.
I have been asked quite often wether my car has a bigblock - at least when somebody has only heared the car in lower rpm. If you rev it over 2500, it really starts screamin'.
But this gives you the choice between mellow cruisin and the more aggressive kind of sound.

Re: Chambered exhaust mpeg (Brettmc)
What are you filming with?
Like you.... it's an older Sony FD-83 with 3-1/2 floppy. There's definitely some better digital/optical cameras out there these days, but I can't see sinking the money into one.
I'm happy with the sound compared to the stock exhaust. A 4-speed without semi-loud exhaust? :nono:
:cheers:
