Default Re: Chambered Exhaust for 1969 Camaro

The recall letter sent out for a California built and sold Z28 states 1969 Camaros with engine options L34, L78, and Z28's built before December 4, 1968 received chambered exhaust and 1969 Camaros equipped with engine option Z28 built from December 4th 1968 through May 2nd 1969 incorporated a regular muffler dual exhaust without resonators.



<span style="font-weight: bold">HOW to determine whether the car was equipped with NC8 chambered</span>

There really are not fail safe ways however if the car hasn't been restored and if any part of the original intermediate hangers (over the axle) are still on the car the Chambered Hangers are entirely different than the standard exhaust (whether std duals are equipped with or with out resonators.) The chambered hangers are attached with one bolt instead of two and they have a 1&quot; x 2&quot; metal retainer with a tab which goes between the bolt and the rubber strap (the rubber strap is much shorter and narrower)


Here is an original retainer, this one was installed upside down from the factory as evidenced by the Hex shape of non-rusted metal around the bolt hole.
