I have looked at chambered exhaust on the classic chambered website and others sites and they look exactly like what I would like to have for my 07 5.7 Tundra. Since you own one of these companies and have worked for other major exhuast manufacturer I was hoping you might be able to provide some insight into the exhaust world (of powersticks) that I may not have gleaned from other threads.

1. On the classic chambered site it shows the peak hp and tq being increased, but I am assuming on a rod and carbed vehicle. With the freer flowing sticks on a new styled cammed and fuel injected engine could one expect the tq numbers to come up? I like the range of tq that my Tundra operates in and would not want to lose that, but I would like it to increase in that range, will the powersticks do this?

2. I saw that you could make up to 40 inch sticks. What benefit or lack thereof would longer powersticks make or is it better to go with the 26 inch version?

3. Is there any benefit to adding an x-pipe or an h-pipe to a true dual system containing powersticks?

4. I have heard some say that an x-pipe will make a system brassy or pingy and only adds to the hp value on the high end of the system, would this happen to the powersticks?

5. Would an h-pipe really add to the tq value of a powerstick system or is a true dual system ok?

Thank you for your time and I appreciate the knowledge you can enpart.

Also I would like to keep this thread geared toward chambered exhaust, so for those who would like to chime in please no flaming this system or adding what system you think I should get instead. If you have this exhaust and some of the answers please join the discussion. Again thanks for your answers.

i just had my 2.5'',20'' sticks put on the other day. i ordered the inlet pipes containing the h section from flowmaster. another member added a x pipe to their truck but didnt like the sound and put a h pipe on instead. this setup definetly gave my truck more low end torque(enough to feel). i think there is 1 other member here that has the 20'' powersticks also. most have the 26''. it has a loud growl on start up and mellows to a nice rumble. my previous muffler that i took off was a flowmaster 2/in 2/out. you get a pretty aggressive exhaust note in the cab with my setup. its not drone its just the exhaust note. this sound maybe too loud for some,but i like it. it sounds like a freakin hotrod. the 26'' might be alittle tamer. when your just running through the gears it definetly a head turner. if you get these, a h pipe is highly recommended. hope this helps.
