Chassis dyno: 324HP @5700 RPM / 349 ft-lbs torque @3700
RPM
3” Exhaust w/Dynomax 3” I/O bullet mufflers.
Over decibel limit (95dB)
FYI
3500-6000 RPM under acceleration

Sounds like an awesome 100dB inside the car – most
impressed with the measured 86dB.
Thanks! Scott

Hello, Some time ago I purchased a pair of your 3-disk
inserts (4-inch) and installed them in the collector of
my headers. The car is a 55 Chevy with a supercharged &
nitrous injected 468 BBC. The headers are fenderwell
exit and aside from the headers and the inserts, there
is no exhaust system. At cruise on the freeway (approx
3000 rpm) I’ve had the experience of CHP (California
Highway Patrol) cars cruise alongside me for a distance
and then decide to move on because I wasn’t loud enough
in their opinion to investigate further. With the
headers being fenderwell exit, it’s quite loud inside
the car because the headers dump out just in front of
the windows, but I’ve had many people tell me that the
car sounds like a bunch of motorcycles traveling
together. I’m happy and so far, so are the police.

Ken just installed a set of inserts on my
98 Silverado-350 Vortec and I'm
really impressed. It did everything you said it would
do, it's fairly mellow
at cruising speed, like you are down a gear, and when
you step on it really
opens up. Thanks for a good product .I've been involved
in racing my whole
life and have never used a product like this. I'm very
happy.

Ken, I want to give you some feedback on
your inserts. I spoke with you a while back about using
your inserts in some straight pipe to replace the
aftermarket mufflers I was running on my 96 Impala SS. I
bought 2 sections of 20 inch 304 stainless pipe locally
and inserted the 3 disk inserts you suggested in them. I
mounted them in the stock location, which is just in
front of the
rear axle. I was looking for a performance sound but
without the drone I currently had.
I am happy to say that I like the new
sound and I haven't heard any droning yet under any
conditions. I still have the stock exhaust manifolds and
cats. The sound is slightly louder and more aggressive
than my previous setup but without the booming or drone
that was really annoying at constant slow speeds and at
highway speed (around 70mph).
I am pleased. Thanks for your help.

Good Day,
Just wanted to let you know that I received the muffler
for my truck and had it installed on that Friday ...
love it ... good deep sound. Truck feels like it has
more mid range power than before.
Thanks again.

Well, I’m a believer. I ordered a pair of
your 3 disk 3” units for our SCCA 1994 LT1 “ITE” class
racer for Laguna Seca which makes us meet 90db at 50’
from the track in turn 5. We put one in each collector
and routed the exhaust away from the sound meter (which
was on the driver’s right) to the driver’s left side
exit…and even under full throttle in 4th gear going up
hill by the sound meter we met 90db limit (they actually
recorded a high of 88db for us)…jeez, guys, these things
worked and I passed on your “secret” to three other guys
who went over limit and couldn’t race… like me they’re
buying them from Jeg’s, a great catalog company. So,
thanks again.

Ken,
The car has a 3 ½” header with two – 2 chamber mufflers
to the rear axle and before installing the inserts it
was simply unbearable to ride in the car due to the
noise level. The inserts were very easy to install as
they slide into the header attached by rivets and
reduced the noise level so much that my wife can
actually ride in the car without ear protection!
As discussed, we installed 3 disk directly into the
header and would like to report that we cannot see any
reduction in power output only in sound level inside and
outside the car. I would recommend to anyone needing to
reduce noise levels due to laws or personal taste to try
Car Chemistry “disk inserts.” I am totally satisfied
with the performance, ease of installation and results
of your product.
Sincerely,

Hi Leo,
I’m very happy to say that I’m greatly impressed by the
great results your inserts brought to my exhaust.
It was short enough to fit in the space
between the cat converter and the first resonator. Then
eliminated the muffler and prepared a “Y” extension,
added the muffler tips and the look was complete.
Man, when I started the car I almost
didn’t believe how quiet inside it was. It’s almost
factory level, the only difference is the tone, you can
hear the new deep sound far away. Outside is different,
louder, but a nicer tone than all the mufflers. That
insert is great, nobody at the shop believed it.
Accelerating the sound climbs, but is never intrusive,
outside it’s evident but I don’t think it’s bothersome.
Leo I thank you, this was the
alternative, I just wish I could’ve asked you before. A
lot of money went out on this.
Well, I’ll be recommending your
product everywhere and especially at the Nissan
communities.

Hi I e-mailed you about a year ago about being able to
use the CC Inserts on my stock 91 Formula 350. When I
first got the car the converters had been removed for
off road use and a (Performance) muffler installed into
the stock system. A trip of any length was out of the
question as it had a terrible sound at about 2200 rpm we
used to call “racking” when I was a kid and glass packs
ruled. I asked around and was told a (other performance)
system was much quieter so on we went the complete
(other performance) system with 3” intermediate pipe.
Better but it still had that “racking” sound especially
when the car was in choke mode, I guess the mufflers on
those cars are just so far back. So I got a 2 disk
insert to use in conjunction with the (Other
performance) muffler and cut the 3” pipe as close to the
front as possible and welded it in a few Saturdays ago
and just like magic, no more “racking” and I have a much
more pleasant tone with a much happier wife. As a side
benefit it seems a little more responsive.
Thanks, Mike

I removed the first disk as you said in your e-mail
dated 4/24/01.This is on my 302
Engine, as I said before with the full insert I lost
almost a half second and of course MPH. Yesterday was
the first time we got to run because of rain. The first
pass after I re-jetted carb. And new plugs was a 12.53
at 106 MPH. This was at noon. The next pass at 2:13 in
the afternoon at about 65 degrees was 12.52 at 106 MPH.
The next one was at 3:53 in the afternoon same temp.
12.61 at 106 MPH. The last one was a 12.57 at 106 MPH.
So you can see I have got my ½ second back. I cut one
disk and about an inch and a half of the front that
faces the header tubes and put my extension back on (18”
extension) and read my decibel meter at 50’ at 3500 RPM
and it read 93db the same as my Capri with Flowmasters.
We are going to remove one disk from my sons 460 as it
reads 90db. Big blocks are not as noisy anyway.
Thanks for your time on this. Hope
this helps you some.
