Everyone has an opinion about exhaust noise. I have always liked the chambered sound. The hp loss (at whatever rpm that occurs) is irrelevant if you like the noise.

Once again, thank you for all the responses as I find myself on the fence regarding the choices.

I have to decide which brand to go with. I know I am not fond of the sound of most of the chambered systems for a SB but like I mentioned, it is a different story on a BB.

Thanks Steve for making me think again about the Gardner system. I will give them a call next week and inquire. And yes they are the best in the business as I did purchase their system for my 69 COPO Camaro I restored years ago. I could have installed it with my eyes closed as the fit and finish was stunning.

PS - and to you Charley, if it helps, I can lend you one of my hearing aids, just let me know which side you need. They are worth big money, I bought NOS units .

The L34 Charley reference I owned from 1999 to 2015 which I traded the car for the black RS Copo. Quick story when I bought the car it had a later transverse system. One clue was it had the original chambered hangers.. The original owner Gerald told me he took the chambered off because it was too loud. I installed the Gardner system and loved the tone of that car. Miss that car affectionately known as big blue!
