Default Re: Chambered Exhaust Opinion's

I put a Gardner chambered system on my BB Pace Car. It is a Canadian car that originally came with chambered. System fit like a glove and sounds great. I have wrestled with a lot of exhaust systems over the years - Gardner just fits with no issues! I believe that chrome tips are incorrect for any '69 system before late June build.

all the Z11 Camaro Pace cars were built before June and all of them came with chrome tipped exhaust pipes (possible exception being the chambered system, I have not seen one with original chambered exhaust, but that is not to say there weren't any out of the 3,675 they made) ...

Yep - I have the GM Canada docs showing chambered on my BB Pace Car. I've never seen another Pace Car with factory chambered either. Sorry if I'm incorrect on the chrome tip issue, I may have chrome tips confused with resonator introduction.

I recently bought two chambered mufflers from a company called SWEET THUNDER. They make complete chambered systems for 69 camaros as well as chambered corvette side pipe inserts. Very reasonably priced and each system has a warranty.Most hardware is included. The craftsmanship is very nice as well

I have bought systems from our sponsor D&amp;R and was happy with how it went together.

Going to put a Gardner on the Lemans Blue 69 Z I am putting together right now, I have the original hangers from the rear, the rubber strap is the &quot;White wall&quot; wonder if Gardner would reuse the old rubber?
