Rich,

Do it! Greg and I cruise his 1969 L78 Convert with Chambered almost every year to CB! It`s the only system for a 1969 Chevelle!

Im running "Vintage" 4 bolt headers with round Thrush Header mufflers-in my SBC powered '67 firebird-No tail pipes just running under the car old school Style And It sounds mellow at idle but when you Crack it open they Bark-its a Sound that no other muffler makes...Flowmaster cackle&pop-Chambered systems also "Clap"-I ran "HUSHTHRUSH" mufflers on same car & they Sounded Throaty-Quiter than the Round Thrush but When you get on the car-they Make Noise-They are perfect for what you want-As the Round Versions may be TOO loud for your taste-with a Drop top-I also ran a chambered "turbo tube " muffler system on a BBC car & it Clapped at WOT..It got aggravating to me Fast-Same sound as glasspacks but more money..

My vote is for the chambered exhaust system.
They have just the right sound.
My friend with the stock manifolds and smog has them on his 1970 L78 SS 396 car and they sound great even with the rear resonators installed.
Not to loud but just enough sound to here that nasty rumble.
I also have them on my 1970 LS6 SS 454 car with Headers and my neighbors hate me for it but i don't care LOL.
I heard that you can drill out that round washer that is welded on the inside of the chamber to give them a less restrictive flow but it would take a very long drill bit to reach it.
