My Corvette(s):
Default Chambered Pipes Vs. Remove Mufflers ?

I want a deeper sound without the inside noise.
Is this the way to go?

I've got a similar dilema... I have Hooker Side Pipes. Tomorrow I am removing the glass packs inside them to see just how loud it will be with open pipes. I am willing to bet you it's too loud (for most people, but not me). Your best bet is to go with a chambered system.

I have an '85 with "ZR-1" mufflers which may be referred to as "chambered" but they look straight through to me. They are fairly loud but they are loud inside too. I, like you, don't mind the noise insdie. (I don't view it as "noise") They do not drown out the radio or anything like that, unless you nail it. Personally I love them! My '55 Chervy has headers and glass paks on it and it does sound better but it is a different sound. The Vette scares off the bee hives! They get real quite when they are around me..................
