Did they, I know at least some were chambered. I'd check to be sure it was a straight through. A chambered muffler cause gasses to die in the pipes at part throttle. Part throttle response is how we drive (civilized anyway). Cruising power, handling hilly terrain and what not. If you've ever noticed a truck ahead of with a loud exhaust that seems to be on the gas a lot more than you are, it's because his part throttle response power is Shii F'ed.

If someone would just make a trans controller for the 6r80 I would be a happy camper.

I'll be the first to start a thread about it if I do. I look every few months. Supposedly they are getting close to making one but they are very hard to control and they are all different so programming would have to be specific.
