Pulled from their website, about why their mufflers are better than straight through mufflers.


"The interior case volume of the inside of a Flowmaster muffler is far superior to that of a "straight-pipe" or "straight-through" muffler design. Imagine filling a "straight-pipe" or "straight-through" muffler with water vs. filling a Flowmaster muffler with water. Which one do think would hold substantially more volume?"

Um, who gives a f*ck?

"The deflector in a Flowmaster muffler acts as a one way check valve eliminating reversion back to the engine and creates a low pressure area to help scavenge the exhaust."

Hahahahaha.


Feel free to delete this thread if they are a potential sponsor. But the more I hear about Flowmaster the less I like them. My first set of Flowmasters were quiet and made more noise inside the car than out.

Then seeing muffler flow test comparisons you can see that Flowmasters have some of the worst flow numbers out there.

And I'm sure that I've offended half the forum here, but yeah. This is reality. Flowmasters sound cool, and let's leave it at that.

I have Flowmasters on the Chevelle. I haven't tried a different muffler on it with the 454 but I might run open exhaust at the next race since there isn't a decibel limit. I just need to make some extentions.

Custom "faux" mufflers 3" body 2 1/2" straight through. Buddy made them for me to "look" like mufflers, waiting on something that "looks" like cats however

I've known about the "shitflow" Flowmasters for years. I went to Pypes mufflers and they flow nearly TWICE what "Shitmasters" do.

Is that on the Vette and what size exhaust? Could you feel the difference? I went with the Flowmasters because a friend of Phil's who owned a muffler shop gave them to me for a really good price. If I could make more power with something else I might look into that.

Have you heard it yet? It has to be really loud.
