Mac Prochamber=GAY

[Stangtamer]

is there anybody else who has a prochamber? my car is seriously too quiet...at idle it has a old school carburetor sound...i would much rather have the "shelby" killer crunch throat sound at idle...i've heard so many things about x-pipes and h-pipes...from my knowledge, x-pipe give you a little bit more backpressure due to the fact that the gases are converging together which might give you a bit more power...an h-pipe is more straight thru with no restriction...am i right? id really like to know...i've been told that the off road h-pipe is the loudest and will give me that throat...i have long tubes and flowmasters so there is some good stuff there...to all who have knowledge and know the difference (no bull like a lot of people) could you please let me know...oh yeah, no cats either...australia doesn't matter that much to me

If you think that car is quiet maybe your just going deaf

You could always take the tail pipes off!!Do you have 2 or 3 chamber flows?

 

[Stangtamer]

they were dumped and sounded SICK!!! i loved it, but my dad wanted to be courteous to the neighbors and made me put pipes on it...it sounds good at high rpms, but still not the exact sound that i want...any other thoughts? i have 2 chamber flowmasters...

 

[willys1]

Will your dad let you get an off rd H? If not theres a ton of different muffs out there.

Pro chamber is gay??? The prochamber is one of the best performing mid pipes available. I have one on my car and love it. I run Mac 1 5/8 longtubes to the prochamber and then to mac flowpath cat back with 3 1/2 inch tips. It is quieter than an H-pipe. It's designed more like an X-pipe than an H-pipe. It hides the cam pretty well at idle and at cruise but at wide open, look out. I prefer to talk softly but carry a big stick. If you want to make alot of noise and no go anywhere like the ricers do, well then a H-pipe with the dumps will be the loudest. By the way, the Flowmasters sound cool but don't flow as well as alot of other mufflers. Get your priorities straight.

Get his priorities straight? Look at his sig! I think an H pipe will make just as much power as a pro-chamber, and aparently louder. Why not try one?

Exactly. If his priorities are loud, than the h-pipe will be the best.. Your probably right about the power difference with his current combo. Intake is too big, cam too small. Heads unless ported are too small. If you get that 331 combo worked out, you will see more power with a prochamber or X-pipe, but will be quieter.

A prochamber makes a smig more power than a offroad H pipe. They both do not have cats.

I love the Prochambers (especially on the 4.6's) and I heard it on a buddy of mines 95 gt vert with full mac exhaust (prochamber) and it sounded good

 

[Stangtamer]

i definitely agree with you about the sound at high rpms...its tight and has a sort of italian tone to it and sounds great...that you are right about...i don't wanna be rediculous, but i love hearing cam lope at idle...i'd probably hear it more if i had a bigger cam...you have to forgive me because this is the first performance motor i've built, so im kinda experimenting with things...i wish i would of gone to a TFS stage 2 or maybe a teeny bit bigger...i've been in college for this stuff 2 years now so im learning...one of my friends had a built 306 with a stage 2 cam in it, shortys, and an off-road h-pipe...at idle it was a little bit louder than my prochamber but had that throat...its not necessarily loudness im looking for, its the throat and crunch and extremely intimidating aggressive sound im looking for...too bad the prochamber only does that at high rpms...any other suggestions on cams cause i'll probably put a different one in...let me know, thanks! oh yeah, i got long tubes...how much more throat do those give than shorties?

Flowmaster 1 chambers maby? I really don't understand how your car could be so quiet. Longtubes do make it quieter at idle. I really don't know what to tell you. Maby electric cutouts right at the headers. Rumble around and when you pull in the neighborhood close them up.

I have mac longtubes into a prochamber and 2 chamber flowmasters, same setup. My car is MUCH quieter than it was with my equal length shorties, offroad h, and same mufflers. At first I hated it, but it's been growing on me. Definately more tame at idle, but sounds great when you start pushing some air through it. An offroad h may give you the sound you're looking for.

Anyone ever think that it might just be the flowmasters that are making it "quiet"? I know, I have had my car for about 2 months now and when I bought it, it had the stock exhaust on it. I couldnt stand it being so quiet so until I could afford a real exhaust ( long tubes, pro-chamber & catback) I had the local meineke cut out my stock muffs and put in some 2 chamber flows. I was pretty dissapointed at first (theyre a LOT quieter than I expected them to be) but I just chalked it up to the rest of the exhaust being stock. My buddy has MAC longtubes, prochamber and catback and it sounds SICK!!!!

The stock H pipe probably quiets the car down more than the stock mufflers do. I swapped my off road H for a stock catted H to pass emissions, and it made my car drastically quieter, even wih my Mac catback (which is pretty loud with the off road pipe).

If you guys want more volume and a throatier, more agressive sound that lets the cam lope be heard at idle, an off road H pipe is probably the way to go.

if all you want is louder, then start by getting rid of the 40 series mufflers. get single chamber race mufflres or SLP resonators that come in their cat back system. It seems that with all that you have done to you motor your car should be plenty loud, or are you just trying to draw attention

 

[whiteyford0212]

i got a full mac exhaust & no cat h-pipe..its pretty damn loud and sounds good

 

[blown1989saleen]

yeah making more power than running an H-pipe that EVERYBODY runs is gay huh???? if your car is too quiet get more mods, sorry to be blunt but IMHO its stupid to call a known excellent power maker gay. I got more compliments when I was running a off road H-pipe and the "everyone has em" FLOWS than the compliments I get now running a Mac ProChamber and Mac catback, but the 3mph I picked up in trap speed makes me happy. try adding a Mac catback with the ProChamber, the PC doesnt sound as good with flow masters
