If nothing else it loses "seat of the pants" feel with the chambered on my Chevelle for some reason...not sure if real numbers would bear that out.

$5500.00 final bid with reserve not met.

A great many things on eBay are not what you'd call 'smart'

Here's a good read on exhaust systems &amp; performance:

http://www.boyleworks.com/ta400/psp/exhaust2.html

As for the Flowmaster exhaust, I'm not a fan at all, but that's what I put on our Camaro, becuase no one else makes a 2.5" mandrel bent system, for exhaust manifolds, that uses a transverse muffler. Pete fabbed his up from scratch with the help of a local mandrel bender for his Pure Stock Camaro, but I used the majority of a Flowmaster kit and some mandrel bends on ours...but, the friggin' exhaust place STRAIGHTENED my mandrel bends then rebent them to fit! Naturally, they busted some of it, and what they didn't bust looks like crap...

As shown in the assembly manual [NC8] the RH rear chambered muffler was welded to its tailpipe. The LH rear muffler used a conventional tail pipe secured with a U clamp. Each muffler had 2 tabs and were bolted together.

There is an original GM chambered system on ebay right now that shows that very setup.

I see the headpipes and intermediate pipes are missing from that particular system...those intermediate pipes are the REAL power killers...they flatten out to clear the tranny crossmember and are as crooked as a dog's hind leg!

BTW, our system looks just like that in the last link (rear pipes bolt together etc.) but the pass. side pipe is NOT welded on...so what do we have?
