Chambered Mufflers
Get that deep, muscular exhaust tone with chambered mufflers. Internal chambers tune the exhaust note to emphasize low frequencies while reducing rasp and drone - perfect for daily drivers who want performance sound.
How Chambered Mufflers Work
Unlike straight-through glasspacks, chambered mufflers use internal baffles and chambers to reflect and cancel certain sound frequencies. This "tunes" the exhaust to produce a deep, resonant tone without high-frequency rasp.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a chambered muffler sound different from a glasspack?
Chambered mufflers use internal baffles and chambers to reflect and cancel specific sound frequencies, creating a deep, tuned muscle-car tone with less rasp. Glasspacks use a straight-through perforated core that lets more raw exhaust sound through, resulting in a louder, raspier tone. Chambered mufflers typically have better drone control for daily driving.
Are chambered mufflers good for daily driving?
Yes, chambered mufflers are excellent for daily drivers who want performance sound without excessive noise. The internal chamber design reduces high-frequency rasp and highway drone while still providing an aggressive tone at acceleration. They offer the best balance between sound character and cabin comfort for most enthusiasts.
What's the best chambered muffler for a V8 engine?
Popular choices for V8s include the Cherry Bomb Vortex for classic muscle-car rumble and the Xlerator Chambered for a deeper, bass-heavy tone. Look for mufflers with larger case dimensions (like 9x4 oval or round cases) for the best V8 sound. The larger internal volume helps develop that deep, lopey idle characteristic of American muscle.
Will a chambered muffler fit my truck or SUV?
Most chambered mufflers come in universal sizes that fit trucks and SUVs with proper inlet/outlet sizing. For trucks, a 3-inch chambered muffler is common. Ensure you have adequate ground clearance for the muffler case dimensions. Many chambered mufflers work great on trucks, providing a deep tone without the excessive rasp that can be fatiguing on longer drives.
Do chambered mufflers restrict exhaust flow?
Chambered mufflers have slightly more restriction than straight-through designs due to their internal baffles, but quality chambered mufflers still flow very well compared to stock mufflers. The small flow difference is typically not noticeable in street driving and is worth the trade-off for better sound character and reduced drone.
