Mufflers, Chambers or wrapped?

[TheBigSgt]

What is the thoughts on Chambered and the round ones wrapped in in sound deading material?

 

[Forrest Nearing]

my experience is that chambered mufflers let more turbine noise out the tailpipe and don't burn out like wrapped mufflers

I have run them on my high performance gassers for years. I have one on my 05 CTD, I like the sound and it lets the engine breath.

Who makes a good quality chambered muffler? Everything seems wrapped.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

any "big truck" muffler will be void of wrap and will be pure chamber.



also, by "chambered", please don't think I'm suggesting a flowmaster style potato! if you can't see straight through it, you don't want it on your turbocharged vehicle!!!

I just bought a second glasspack to add to my system. One sounds great, but the drone is too much w/o the kitty. I had two of the exact same mufflers on my '01 and that sound was great also.



I've never heard of one wearing or burning out.



I bought it direct from the Hearthrob factory Friday and they had a chambered 5" hanging on the wall. He said they make them for the 5" kits to kill some of the noise. They're chambered, but still flow more than enough for a 5" user.

well, if the exhaust gas has to make two 180* turns, I contend it doesn't flow enough...



rule of thumb: if you can't see straight through it, don't use it!



if one isn't enough, add another
