I've never heard single chambers in person (knowingly), so I honestly couldn't tell you. I know bullets sound damn good though, like the Dynomax ones. Try and hear both of them in person if possible.

I started running single chambers a few years ago and won't go to anything else



So you can guess what gets my vote

I'm running both. Single chambers on LPP duals, and bullets in the tail pipes. sounds wicked! It was crazy loud with just the single chambers. I used single chambers on my last TA as well, and IMHO sounds the best.

Both! Bullet first then into single-chamber. That's what I had in my LT1. Godly sound, or devilish...

I love my Dynomax Bullets.

Listen to the first 17 seconds or so, sounds pretty damn mean, even from a 1/4 mile away. When I am just going around town at ~1500rpms or so, and it's actually decently quiet.

Compared to one chambers bullets sound like complete ***. If you have heard both I don't see how you could argue it. All opinion.

Will never have anyhing but one chambers with x pipe.

I'll have one soon. On my other car I started out with just bullets, and didn't like the sound at all. I switched to single chambers and it was exactly what I was looking for. On this car I have a bigger cam, and the single chambers sounded great, but were too loud. I was having bolt on tail pipes made for me, so I bought some bullets to try. I didn't think it would do anything for sound looking at the bullet, but it made a big difference. Sounds like very very deep single chambers, almost like a low pass filter using audio terms.

I've thought about switching one chambers on my set up. Are you guys all refering to Flowmaster 1 chambers I assume? Or are there different "knock offs" of the 1 chamber?

Yes and yes. Flowmaster lost their patent a while back so they have tons of knockoffs. Everyone swears they sound the same. I have not heard both on the same car. There isn't much to them though so i would assume they sound same.
I will be buying the 1 fm brand though.

Its because they are still at the stage of "anything that makes racket and gets me attention must sound good"
