Default Chambered with O/R Y and LT's?

Ok so I currently have pacesetter longtubes, an offroad y pipe and the loudmouth catback. I have a moroso muffler which I was planning on putting in place of the resonator. I have a guy interested in trading me a classic chambered muffler for my moroso. I am curious if anyone has any experience with a chambered muffler with longtubes and an offroad y or maybe any soundclips. I am just wondering how it would sound.....thanks.

Here is a couple of clips I took a while ago. It sounds pretty close to the LM set up, it has a bit lower tone- though not much. It was a bit of a hassle getting it to mate to the I-pipe, so beware. I used the 16" and think I should have gone longer, but I'm gonna switch to TD's anyhow and get another one. The price is right and they have a true 3" center. http://media.putfile.com/powerstick-idle; http://media.putfile.com/powerstick-rev

I'm probably going to do a setup within the next few months that involves putting a Powerstick 18" in the I, and one mounted transversely where the stocker goes. That ought to mellow it down a little bit.

I'll post up all the info when I do it, as well as video/sound clips.

Of course, I will be installing dual cutouts for the track.

Ok well now I have a big *** cam coming and I was really don't want to do a completely different catback so if I run a chambered in place of the resonator and then do another one where the muffler normally is would that help out a bit?

It would definitely help out. We also carry the Powerpacks which are a noncrimped version of the Powerstick muffler. They will be a bit quieter that the Powersticks with the same great sound.

I would replace the LM resonator with one, and also put one where a stock muffler would go.

Does either the powerstick or powerpack have about the same noise reduction as using a dynomax race bullet? On some of the louder ORY / catback systems a few db in sound reduction is sometimes wanted. Just looking to see if these would a usefull alternative to the bullet.

Powerstick would be similar to a dynomax bullet. Powerpack will be a bit quieter.

Different sound though (better IMO). Less resonance & deeper.
