Also,
The internals of the Super Flow mufflers direct the gases into an 'S' shape
through the muffler, shown here:
http://www.a-1performance.com/super_turbo/index.htm. So this would still
flow better than a chambered muffler even though the gases still have to get
re-routed through the muffler, just the gases get some help getting
redirected, due to the "EXCLUSIVE PATENTED FLOW DIRECTORS; Helps to channel
exhaust flow and eliminate turbulence for flows as good as straight pipes."
For the ultimate flow in a muffler then, would just be a straight pipe going
right through the center of the muffer, right? Like the Ultra-Flo muffler,
shown here: http://www.a-1performance.com/ultra_flo/index.htm
I am sure these type of mufflers would flow the best, but would also be the
loudest, right?
