SignUp Now!please define "turbo muffler" ....
Ahhh....ok.
Pretty much just a glorified glass pack.
No idea how well they'd flow, but they'd be obnoxiously loud though.
They didn't show if the inner tube was perforated or if it had raised louvers....smooth perforated tube is what you want. Raised louvers cause restriction in flow.
I got one, 3.5" its a REAL straight through design, my arm fits through it. real in the sense there is no packing material for sound absorption, and no core (perforated or louvered), or chambers. this outlaw muffler/resonator will only reduce sound, according to the flowmaster tech, by 2 maybe 3 db compared to open headers. I found the outlaw when I was looking for a resonator but I HATE the design of a perforated core with packing material in it, and the louvered cored resonators look even worse. This outlaw was the only resonator I have seen that doesn't have either, and I looked all over (USDM, JDM, and Europian markets). Flowmasters outlaw is truly unique to the market weather your going to use it as a muffler or a resonator or both. I REALLY wish I had the cash do update the "3 muffler" thread and try it with the outlaws. One for downpipe and two for mufflers with over axle piping, that would be bitchn!
I plan to run this 3.5" outlaw as a resonator after my downpipe, then to a Y pipe into dual 3" 10 series single chamber mufflers with turn downs. I also will be running a brand new cat, 3.5" 200 cell metallic spun substraight, (flows 30-40% more then the old "hi-flow" ceramic honeycomb substraight catalytic converters, is twice as small about 4-5" long, heats up faster, and burns cleaner because of its metallic properties). I am welding it right to my downpipe. That covers all of my exhaust; Downpipe, catalytic converter, resonator, mufflers.
I will pass california smog sniffer on top of all thatCheers:biggrin:
no core period yay! only small 'rings' like a bracelet for the ladies. shorty outlaws have 2 rings I think and the longer outlaws have 5. tech said shorties only reduce 1-2 DB maybe was repeated by him on the 2 DB, and the longer outlaws 2-3 DB maybe was repeated on the 3 DB. These should make good resonators for our grand nationals.
ok I'll go take pics
Why do you want all that **** on your exhaust? I thought only Cadillacs ran resonators?
Why not just mufflers or just these Flowmasters?

ok, after looking at the vid on youtube, it seems the "rings" would cause alot of turbulence and flow issues ??
