Sights & Sounds
My mufflers on a “late” model Mustang. I thought this guy did a really nice job on the video. I’ve always been amazed that the Mustang GT crowd never really picked up on my mufflers, so this video may start some new interest with the Mustang guys. So far, all thumbs-up & great comments below the video. -Eric He is running a pair of these:
"Quiet" side Pipes from WTB on Vimeo. 2019 Durango with 3.6L. 2018 Dodge Charger RT with Power Sticks 2008 Viper with special-built 2.5” core x 28” L bodied chambered Powersticks Hey Classic Chambered, Finally got some good video (more importantly for you, good audio too) of my car running the custom 2.5" x 32” L Cobra Pack mufflers you built for me last year. Here's a link if you think it is worth adding to your website. 69 Corvette, 355 cid 1970 LT-1 spec with 3" Stahl/ACP headers
P.S. - I'm very happy with them! They sound great! More video to come!
Sweet sound from a really nice-looking C2 from New York running my 3” x 40” Chambered Powersticks. This is about as loud as you can get through mufflers! Sometimes I get nice movies like this from my customers – they are always fun. Enjoy. Comments from customer: It's a 63 stingray. Tko600. 373 gear. Rear has the Dragvette link suspension. Wheels are Mickey Thompson drag radial on vintage ET wheels and Hurst racing front runner tires. It's a Shafiroff ultra street 434 small block 610 hp 615 tq with Stahls headers stepped from 1.75 to 1.875" primary pipes and 3" collector. They sound perfect. In 4th and 5th its quiet I made the turnouts adjustable to find a quiet angle. Anytime they are facing the ground it's louder than if they are angled at 8 o'clock I did put the sidepipe cover on they fit fine without the insulator and the key to it make sure the pipes are situated with the chambered crimps on the sides because the tubes are sort of oval. In fact the first set of 2.5" cores I did not realize it and perhaps I did not need to remove the fiberglass insulator. I also Cerekote the headers and side pipes for a little heat retention.

2015 DODGE CHALLENGER RT WITH POWERSTICKS Slant 6 with Powerstick Exhaust I've had the powersticks on my truck for a week so far and they are the best sounding muffler I've ever heard. Already been through 5 different brands of mufflers on my current setup. You make a great product and I am a proud supporter of U.S. made. Your business ethic is also one of the best ones I've ever dealt with. I will definitely be installing powersticks on my other truck when the time comes. Keep up the outstanding business and product. Also I've provided a youtube link to a video of my truck in case you would like to use it or as a sound clip. Ben from Saginaw, MI. I'm running TTI headers & 2 1/2" X pipe system w/ Power Sticks chambered mufflers on a warmed over small block. Sounds absolutely vicious at idle, but is very sedate when driven moderately, which I do on occasion.

Thanks to A.P. of CA. for this great movie. His is the black Viper running a pair of 3" x 28" Cobrapack (w/packing) mufflers. Which Viper sounds the best? A very nice gathering of exotic stuff there, with an honorable mention to the Ford GT!

Since installing a set of OBX Stainless side pipes I've been trying to find a set of inserts that flowed well but sounded good at a reasonable volume. I started with the Hooker Max Flows that sounded nice at idle but after that they were super loud and unbearable on the interstate. Second I tried the Hooker regular glass packs (not reverse flow) and they sounded much better volume wise but the tone was just ok but the back pressure was horrible.
I called Eric at Classic Chambered Exhaust and asked about making a set of the VettePack mufflers he makes for C2 cars. He said no problem though he'd never made a set for the hooker styled pipes but was game. A few weeks later they arrived and I started the install.
The design is great and easy to bend the tabs so the inserts slide in with some resistance and no vibration and rattles. The sound is super. They have the right amount of volume and sound great through the rpm. At 70 mph on the interstate you can hear them but still talk to a passenger in my case with the windows down an air conditioned car would have no problem at all. When you get in it or just taking off heavy footed from a light heads will turn cause everyone can hear the sweet music your car will be making.
Happy to say the least and found working with Eric a pleasure. Here is a quick clip. I'll shoot a driving video next and post it.

Sounds great !!! What exhaust/headers do you have ?
That is one fine car, What kind of exhaust do you have on it? It sounds great.

Hi Eric,
I got them installed and am very pleased with the results. The sound is simply awesome. When I first brought it home my neighbors came out of the house to see what was going on! The coolest thing was when my 6 year old daughter was in the backseat for the first time and she said "That's really cool, daddy....can we make it go faster???" As a car nut that made my heart swell! LOL. Here's a video of my car with the 2520SB's on it. It's a real head turner (ear turner? Ha). Love it!!!!
Best Regards, Jac

Many thanks to Joe Ciaravino of NJ for the following movie clips of his trophy-winning 1965 Corvette 327. Joe was instrumental in our development of the breakthrough VettePack Muffler concept. I built a prototype set with 2.5" cores & 3.5" OD body size for Joe's car. Length of the chambered Powerstick is 26" & I used a 16" resonator section. Today's most popular VettePack assembly utilizes 20" of Powerstick, & 20" of sound-absorbing resonator. We hit the sweet spot with this latest design! |

C-2 CORVETTE SIDEPIPE RETROFIT ↓
Retrofit going from stock replacement chambered sidepipes to 2.5” core / 3.5” body VettePack Mufflers (these have 20” long unpacked Powerstick Chambered sections, followed by 20” long resonator sections packed with sound absorbing material). The result will be a noticeably quieter & deeper tone without rasp, & they will also flow better than the stock-type chambered replacement exhaust: |

Photo 2 shows “Muffler Dave” heating & bending a new rod hanger which will be welded to the new muffler. 3. Photo 3 shows the offset between the straight-through Powerstick & the resonator attached to the new tailpipe. 4. Photo 4 shows expert installer compression-bending a 3” offset pipe, which will join the Powerstick to the resonator. 5. Photo 5 shows the finished installation with offset pipe making the jog between the new components. All the factory hanging points are re-used, & everything is welded together except the connection at the OE cat converter which is clamped. OEM exhaust is saved for a rainy day. |

Hi Eric, Got a new track vid for you to check out of my car at the Z06 Fest Drags last week. Nothing but compliments on the exhaust sound of my car thanks to your Powersticks. Feel free to add it to your website. My friend Dan shot it with his new Sony Hi-Def camera. Let me know what you think. Thanks, Jim L. Alamosa, CO |

Thanks to Mr. M. from the heartland of America for these great movies of his brand new '09 Challenger R/T running a 4, 2.5" Powerstick system. 20" Powersticks ahead of the rear differential, & special 12" Powersticks right at the back of the system. The factory H-pipe was retained. Mr. M. reports a great exhaust note that is very practical for everyday driving. This is the first new Challenger running Powerstick exhaust! |

Tundra Solutions Forum - rex1 For those who wanted pics of the single 3" powerstick. This is with the Banks Monster exhaust pipes(Y-pipe and tail-pipe). Swapped out the Banks muffler with the single 26X3" Powerstick, it was a direct swap. This is a nice upgrade for those who have purchased the Banks Monster Exhaust system. "NEW - TRUE 3" VERSIONS". Body diameter 3-1/2", part #3030SB. |

Thanks to L.B. of Scottsdale, AZ. for this clip. His car is a 1965 Corvette 327/365 HP. Here's his commentary: I bought a 65 with sidepipes and posted a similar problem a few weeks ago. They were an original repro. of the GM's. Just yesterday (Mon.) I had the chambered portion removed and replaced with a section consisting of 1/2 chambered and 1/2 resonator made by Classic Chambered. ERIC at Classic, said he had never tried this particular combination and hoped it worked. I made an HD video of the before and will be doing one in a few days to show the difference. It may be hard to hear the sound difference on a computer. The sound seems to be reduced in volume by 1/4>1/3 of what it was. It is a lower rumble and they are still louder than most exhausts. The original sound was very annoying and the new sound has a much better tone. When I finish the video I'll post both of them. GOOD LUCK! |

 Under the stock sidepipe covers reside 3" OD x 40" Powerstick Mufflers (part # 22540-VETTE). Sound is deeper & less raspy, plus flowpath is now 2-1/4" vs. stock @ 1-7/8". BIG flow advantage! |

Thanks to David C. from Howell, MI. for the great movies. His car is a 2006 Mustang GT with a high-flow H-pipe & an SLP Loudmouth axleback. 2524SB's were added after the H-pipe for additional tuning.
