Just curious if anyone has Powerstick Chamber mufflers on there trucks, if ya do, do you like them and then what are the motor specs? Thanks

Man, u read my mind. Was going to ask the sane thing. I really want a mild sounding exhaust but also need as small a muffler as I can find. These might fit the bill if not too loud.

Never heard of them. Are they a "bullet" style muffler,like a crimped glass pack? I ran a Walker muffler that I think they no longer make called a Turbo Tube (dual) on a truck and really liked them. They have a vintage sound I really like. More tone at idle/low rpm than canister turbos,yet not loud till you hit it hard. Then,they really crack and let you know it's play time! They had what I consider a truck sound like I recall from when I was a kid. Excellent clearance is a great plus. I want something like that on my '67 project that will have a period correct vibe.

The inside of the Powerstick looks like about the same as a louvered glass pack.

Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it. These may be the ones I stumbled on and didn't save where I saw them. These are like what I had by Walker. Basically,they are what would have been in side pipe on Vettes and other aftermarket sets. Many muscle cars ran them back when they ruled the streets,too. Turbos didn't get big until noise level restrictions started coming around around '73 or so...at least where I lived.

They look almost exactly like the baffles in the Vance & Hines pipes on my bike.
