George, I dont know if what you are going to do will be a valid test.
You had mentioned something about fluid dynamics, well fluid unlike
a gas doesn't compress or expand like a gas. From what I understand
a Flowmaster uses exhaust gas pulses to help scavenge the exhaust
system, this wouldn't happen in a fluid test. Even if you were to put them
on a flow bench(air) you would still not have pulses like found in an exhaust.
Also I don't know which Flowmaster you have, but if you would like to know
which one flows best for our application, it is the 30 series p#53032, BTW,
I have this muffler. I did concider; the Hooker 3" max flow, Walker Dynomax
Ultraflo 3", Edelbrock Rpm 3",etc... they are all over kill!
I think the only way to do it is to take it to a dyno!

OK I just got a hold of a flowmaster and I think I may order a Borla or Hooker
for myself, anyone in Austin or nearby want to temporily donate a muffler to
me so I can flow test them in a comparo? You will get it back same day, you
can prorbably even watch the test. Any one?!

I wanna know for sure!
