As some of you guys know, I sold my 3" custom exhaust because someone offered me a price I couldn't refuse. I'm back to stock now and had some ideas floatin' around in my head. I'm kinda a sound junky and can listen to clips all day on youtube and the like of great sounding car. Sometimes I just play Ultimate Car Sounds when I study...."I have uhhhh.....{ADD}, Yes that ****, something about engines, they calm me down" (please tell me you know what movie thats from). I've always noticed that f/y body cars always sound better then ours and I'm willing to do some investigating (hurting the ol' bank account) to figure out why. Anyways, I love the down low rumble of these LS4's but after awhile it gets a little muddy. I was browsing the Corvette section and came upon this thread:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/corvette-performance/910975-3-chambered-exhaust-complete-dial-up-go-grab-beer.html

...And it really got me thinking. I love the sound of the GMMG Fbody catbacks and remembered, chambered exhaust=that tone I love.

What are your guy's thought on going with a chambered "powerstick" set-up like this?


And then I looked on youtube and found these:

If we could sound anything like those videos...I would be heaven. SO give me your questions/concerns/thoughts or just tell me I'm crazy.

 

The third clip on the OP is EXACTLY how the in car sounded in my Z:

Absolutely loved that sound.

Both the F-body GMMG system and this guy had the mufflers "inside" the exhaust system. Are you thinking of putting them in the stock MCSS location? Seems like that would be the only place they would fit, or would they?

I'm a go with that - if I could get my MCSS to sound like that, I will do the same.

Seeing they are 2 hours from me, maybe we can see what they can do w/ my car once I get it back.

 

Get a cutout no one has put a good video of exhaust cutout open on monte carlo revving to 6000 and doing a drive by / drive off. I'll try to do one this weekend its hard finding a spot near i live where the person holding the camera wont feel like a complete idiot. My car sounds like afucking beast @ 6 grand.

 

That would be great. I was thinkin' of just one long chambered muffler going where the resonator was straight piping out the back just like the Vette thread. That would be great if you could get those done once your car is back in action.

I've been in a car with a cut-out and I liked it...but I want that chambered muffler sound.

 

Watched Fast & Furious one too many times?

When I think of chambered exhaust like that one thing comes to mind, LOUD! I think it would sound badass though, but too loud for me. My exhaust already sets off alarms of cars 3 parking spaces away. And I just have flowmaster 40-series weld-ins. That the exhaust I wanted for my T/A because it sound awesome but then I found out how loud it was and decided I better not. But if you, and your neighbors, are able to put up with it I say go for it!

 

Thank you for getting my F&F joke....

Anyway, I tend to love loud, and as much as people discourage me that "loud" does not belong on a monte carlo...I'm young and only get to do this once. I'm going to talk to my welder and see what he can do with 3" DP, chambered muffler, 3" straight pipe i.e. find out pricing and go from there. The mufflers from classic chambered are surprisingly cheap. I think I am going to go with the 20" one with packing 3" in/3" out.

 

Let us know how it turns out. From what I was told the longer the muffler/resonator the less raspy the exhaust sounds so 20" should be perfect. Also post some pics of your setup when your done if you can.

 

Unfortunatly, I have the same prolbem, I'll look on youtube just to hear good sounding exhausts. This is my favorite, and I swear if I ever get another true dual exhausted car, it will have these mufflers. I think these mufflers are a straight through design and could be used in place of a resonator and then delete the mufflers. I have also thought about slp's loud mouth muffler but do not have any idea how that would sound on these cars.

I would go with a ZZP res with no mufflers and 3" catless down pipe, followed with 18 guage, 3" pipe to the split, and then into 2 1/4 duals.

 

Yeah thats another great video....I just love that sound.
I think what I am going with front to back is:

3" Catless downpipe----20" Classic Chambered Muffler (in place of Resonator)---Y pipe----3" straight pipe into those MBRP tips.

 

Wow.....! 3" stright pipes!

 

You have 3" pipe...the one really one muffler acts as the mufflers in the back. Its 20 inches long...

 

Post some clips of that when its done. Thats gonna be loud! Hope the cops down there are cool about it.

 

i hope that works for you... thats the direction i want to go!

 

To watch a bunch of great videos, try this link:

Yeah I watched all those videos. The mufflers should be here shortly, I ordered them. Still have to talk to my welder/fab guy.

 

Wait so are you having one of these mufflers or 2?

 

he's gonna put one 20" Classic Chambered Muffler (in place of the Resonator), then just run pipe to the y-pipe, then just straight pipes from there to the tips...

so yes, he will only have 1 "muffler"... everything else is just gonna be pipe...

 

Okay that's what I thought. Thanks. I listened to some of those clips on the site. Can't wait to hear how this sounds.

 

I talked about wanting to do this setup a few months ago. Wonder what it will sound like :-\
