    Ok so I have the opportunity to pick up a pro-chamber for a really good deal locally. I currently have a BBK O/R H, what is the difference I might expect in sound from the O/R H to the ProChamber? Will it be raspier, deeper, mellower etc? Just wondering.

    I've had both installed on my mustangs, but don't remember the exact difference in sound. I think they almost sound alike, can't remember. I do have to say tho, I get a lot of compliments of how it sounds now with the ProChamber. Words can't describe it cause both sound deep and raspy, but I guess you can add a little metallic sound to the PC, it sounds awesome and supposedly gives you more power. I wouldn't go back to an Hpipe after having this.

    I think I'll go ahead and pick it up...it's got 1500 miles on it and is damn cheap, in great condition. It'll be fun to see how it sounds.

    I think u have shorties, but just incase, a prochamber will NOT bolt up to bbk long tubes. I think the shorty styles are the same.

    Yea I still have the stock headers, and the MAC site says the prochamber for 94-95 will bolt up to stock headers. I assume this would mean I would have no problem bolting it up to my Borla catback.

    Not too much quieter. It's still gonna be loud, but I can tell it's not quite as loud as an O/R H.

    I would like to find something less raspy, with a really nice deep tone. Right now my car is just loud. It sounds badass for awhile, but the sound honestly looses it's novelty with me. I might just find a different catback to get that though.

    prochamber is kinda mild (vs h pipe) at idle and cruising at low RPM but as soon as you give it gas all hell breaks loose and it screams to life :nice: like i said its very deep and rumbly

    Whats your setup right now?


    Just to be fair and to give both sides of the spectrum, back when searching for info about the PC, i did come across a few people who didnt like it. Though, the majority gives it a thumbs up:nice: Its just too damn expensive in a 3" for long tubes IMO...i'd take the D pipe over it any day of the week for half the price.

    Well I'm picking it up this Sunday afternoon. It'll be another 3-4 weeks before I go home for break and put it on. I'll keep you guys posted. I have a camera that takes good videos now, so if someone can hook me up with a place to host a vid, I will do so. I'll also have some videos of my car around the middle of April when I take it down to NC for a show. might even get it on a dyno down there too :banana:

    Is this a fact? Even if you get the pro chamber meant for long tube headers? I guess I could always take it to a muffler shop and have them make it work. Any idea how much custom fabbing would be required to make the pro chamber fit with BBK LTs?
