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: |

Many thanks to car owner (& restorer) John D. for allowing our photo session, & much praise to the expert installers & old-school gearheads at Muffler Daves Wayne, MI. This is one beautiful, hard-running, 4-speed 1967 327 Corvette! *If you want it more brutal, we make 2.25, 2.5, & all-out performance 3 flowpath full-tilt chambered Powerstick sidepipe mufflers too!

1. Photo 1 shows a 3 x 26 Long Powerstick (# 3030SB) attached directly off the catalytic converter assembly. 2. 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 H. B. from Jacksonville, FLA. for this great movie! His vehicle: 2002 WJ Overland 4.7L H.O V8 I made up my mind and bought 2 Powerstick chambered mufflers from classicchambered.com. Went with the medium length, 2.5" all the way thru...3.5" body.
I had them installed on Monday...and I'm really happy with the results...sounds AMAZING!! Cold starts sounds mildy cammed...and the idle is just plain bad...these don't have any drone like the Flowmaster did...from what I understand from drone anyways...just great sound..all thru the powerband... So without any further adue...here's a little something I put together...enjoy! Ohh...and the video doesn't do it justice... |

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.

 Powerstick 2520SB mufflers installed on a new Hemi Magnum Wagon. OE pipes replaced with 2.5" aluminized, & new 2.5" X-pipe fabricated to replace the smaller OE X-pipe. Bulky OE bladder-type mufflers replaced with some real performance! |
