Undercar Chambered Exhaust ?!?!?
I currently have the stock 2—into—1—into—2 exhaust on my ’78 and am looking to change that to true duals. I am wondering if any of you have tried an undercar chambered exhaust like http://www.madvet.com/-/shop?part=4.36.1293.603850. I know a lot of you have chosen to go with side pipes, but I’m not sure that is a look I want to go for.
What do you think of the linked setup?
How loud should I expect a system like this to be?
What are other configurations you have on your car?
I am new at this so any advice is appreciated.

My 72 LT-1 has Allen's aluminzed steel chambered exhaust and I love it. It makes a sound similar side pipes (a kickback to the muscle car sounds of yesteryear). I keep meaning to record and post an audio or video file so people can judge for themselves if the sound is right for them, but my 12-week old first child keeps me busy otherwise lately.

I just put it on my 75 a few weeks ago and I love it. It does have a slight drone between 1100 and 1400 RPM but I don't spend too much time in that range. I don't think that it is too loud for normal use although is is definitely louder than stock. It has a great bark when you stand on it and the brappling that it does when you decelerate is to die for. It makes my car sound a lot meaner than it really is.

0013,
Within the next month I will be uninstalling my mint condition Madvet chambered system and I will sell it to you for a very fair price
It only has 1000 miles on it - I am going with headers/sidepipes
I live in Ashburn so there would be zero shipping costs to mess with also..
Let me know...

I have a set of chambered pipes on true duals and it sounds AWESOME, its got that nice low down rumble at idle, but when you step on it, it sounds like a beast. I could hear my brother coming home from 3 blocks away,you wont regret the switch

I've got a set of the MAD duals on my 79 that runs from the stock exhaust manifolds back. The installation was EASY after I took the time to figure out which part went where (the MAD set I used did not come with instructions !) Under normal acceleration, the exhaust is loud up to 45MPH then quietens down to a respectible level enough to hear the stereo. Under hard acceleration it is very loud. I've enjoyed mine so far.

I'm really interested in putting on a chambered system on mine. Does no one have a audiofile or movie with their car and a chambered system so I could hear what it really sounds like?
Do you guys think I should take the opportunity to add headers as well?

Corz had a video floating around the other day of his car with them. His car sounded pretty mean with the chambered system. I believe he has a decently-modded enigne though.
I'm going to blow the $300 and get them for my car. I hear they are not that great for performance, but better than the stock 2 - 1 - 2 setup.

when you stomp on it LOUD,, other than that a healthy rumble that can get annoying on a highway run,, i had my entire systen(the same your lookin at gettin) jet coated inside and out and i can definately tell the difference,, it flows better and seems more responsive
