I think a chambered exhaust is when the pipe is crimped every 10-14 inches to take place of the mufflers......it will sound like the old glass pack mufflers....

Are the chambered pipes louder than un-crimped muffler eliminators?

Chambered mufflers were standard equipment on 1964-65 Oldsmobile Starfire's. The Olds Starfire exhaust system was unique as the left side was 2 inches in diameter and the right side was 2 1/4 inches in diameter. My Father had one in '64, I loved that car! If you like a loud low rumble that will shake stuff in your house, these are for you.
