Allen Exhaust Chambered Tips - w/ Pics
 
Hi All,

Last week I took advantage of the Allen Exhaust eBay offering for a set of Chambered Muffler Eliminators and Slash-cut Oval Tips.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/151150756621...84.m1497.l2649

I had them installed, today, replacing a set of generic mufflers that had been attached with 4" extensions and muffler clamps by the PO. I left the clamps on the rear-most extensions (incase the Allens were too loud) and had the rest welded in place.

I LOVE THEM!! My '96 LT1 has a 2-into-1-into-2 muffler amidships so the chambered extensions create a perfect blend of old-school growl (HOWL at high RPM) without being obnoxiously loud. Resonance is no worse than the old mufflers which never annoyed me.

Because I had them welded (by "Paul" at R&L Muffler in Clearwater, FL - Excellent work... he was more anal than I was about getting them straight!) I can't attest to the viability of Allen's hardware. However, the chambered pipes and exhaust tips are superb! :thumbs:

Nice!

They look great. I'm curious how they sound.

It looks great. I was thinking about making something similar to this using Powerstick mufflers. I'd like to hear how this sounds as well.

DrDyno 05-23-2014 04:29 PM

Stay tuned... I'll figure out how to upload some sound!

DrDyno 05-23-2014 06:19 PM

With SOUND...!
 
My wife assisted with the video and because she was standing between the Corvette and her TrailBlazer the sound is bouncing back and forth a little. But... you'll get the idea.

92 Quasar 05-23-2014 08:55 PM

Sounds fantastic!

No more or less than the mufflers I removed. Slightly louder but I enjoy the growl.

These were my old mufflers:

Install was $60.00... incredible value for the job R&L's "Paul" did.

The eBay site allows for "MAKE OFFER." I made an offer and paid less than the $210.00 advertised price.

OK... I guess my wife changed something on her YouTube account. I uploaded the video to my YouTube account and changed the link, above.

Here it is, again...

I,ve spent a lot of hours reworking lights and electrical wiring in Allens shop and can attest to
their quality and workmanship. I just sold my 84 because of having to move but will get another at my new location and have already told Mike I will be getting a new set of Chambered on my next one..I think his are the best for the money.

looks good and sounds good too. :)

Sorry to revive. I received mine today. Did you drill a hole in the tips for condensation?
