I think if i were to buy a new h-pipe, i would go with the prochamber, everyone says it sounds the best and performs great.

Is there a price limit to this? Did you like the Bassani? I know they make a good product, so why not stick with it? I also heard great things about the prochamber, and if I were to buy a pipe again, I would go with that. Any reason why you are going from an x-pipe to h-pipe?

the x has occasional slight clearance problems with the t56, and the x also, from all the ones ive heard, sound a little bit higher pitched than the h's.... i really liked the bassani pipe though.... just sorta wanna get something with a deeper rumble, not quite so raspy, which from what ive been told the pro chamber is pretty much what im looking for....

Sounds like you did a little more than creep over a speed bump -- I've had plenty of scrapes with different exhausts and never did that kind of damage!

Anyway, I'd stick with a major manufacturer like Bassani, BBK, etc.

Are you using shorties or long tubes? I have a BBk lt/h-pipe/2-chamber flows. I don't know how much you worry about rust, but I live in ohio, and my "ceramic coated" bbk headers have started to rust/flake off in about a year. They sound awesome, very deep rumble, no rasp whatsoever. I don't think they knew what they were talking about but ..... I have had people ask me if I had a big-block in it.

Everything i've heard about the prochamberhas been good. Also I plan on going with one so that should be reason enough to pick one

asu : are they the chrome or the ceramic ones and have you had any
problems with them? What kind of mufflers were you using and haw raspy was the x-pipe? (one of my friends is considering the h vs x pipes)

Is there a prochamber available for longtubes?

P.S. Does anyone have any sound clips of a prochamber?

That sounds pretty sweet.

Mine almost sounds like that but I think the lt's make mine a little deeper.

yeah the x is much raspier (is that a word lol) i like the chamber much better thanks a lot!

btw - how much did your t56 set you back and where did u get it? also how much/where from is your brake kit? Im lookin to build a stroked 351 or somthing along the lines of your combo, but I got sidetracked by a deteriorating body.
