Jim:
Actually I have NOT hard them on a BB Chevelle... I own a 68 SS 396
(clone really) along with a
few Corvettes... I installed the chambered Exhaust on my 76 Corvette Coupe
and removed it shortly afterward... WAY WAY WAY Toooooooo LOUD... and I
may add that I am hard of hearing (that you Vietman)... I could stand it
with the t-tops removed and the windows down...but it sounded like I was in
a drum if I kept the tops on and heaven forbid if I rolled up the windows I
believe my fillings would have
been shaken loose....
I removed it from the 76 and installed it on my 72 convertible...and
its still loud...BUT its a "I like it loud"
I NEVER have the top up on the car its always run with the top
down..and its fine... but still loud...
I do not think I really would like the sound of the chambered exhaust in my
Chevelle...not with me inside
..
