Default Allen's Chambered Exhaust

I've decided that until I can scrape up enough cash to get the Hooker sidepipe setup I'll go with the Allen's chambered exhaust setup. My question is this - There are two versions of which there's been some recent discussions over. The "loud" setup has two chambers and the "not as loud" setup has four chambers. I was wondering if anyone who has these exhausts could post a video or sound bite of each style. Now before anyone makes the statement, "there's a video link of a '74 with the Allen's system on it already posted" - this is true, but it doesn't state whether it's the two or four chambered system. The Allen's site doesn't provide a sound file so I was hoping somebody could help me out. I apologize in advance if I'm beating a dead horse on this one..... I just want to make a informed decision!

I was thinking of trying the chambered system, but didnt like the empty look under the car without mufflers. I contacted Allens, who by the way is AWESOME...........and they sugggested a "LOUD" near hollow factory look muffler they make, to keep stock appearance & side pipe sound, was about $175 for the pair, a lot less then entire exhaust, easier to install, same great sound !!!

I have the 2 stage system on a 74 350. It starts 2" then about 6" from the ram horns it goes to 2.5" to the end. They are loud when you get on it but I like them and do get a lot of complements. Call Alens the are good to deal with and can explain them.

Did you ever locate sound clips for the two different systems? Did you decide on a system? i'm currently looking at the 4 chamber system.

thanks

Thanks Avner for posting. Sounds great. Did you buy a two chamber (one on each side) system or four chamber (two on each side) system.
