Default Another muffler comparison, looking for more

http://www.svtoa.org/articles_006.htm

This is a good comparison but I'd like to see a few more of the well known high performance mufflers tested. I remember seeing a comparison test a guy did on his own personal car that had like ~15 mufflers with Db readings and flow numbers but I can't find it anymore. He had pics of the mufflers and it seemed like it was on his own site. It was one of the better reviews I'd seen of name brand mufflers.
I'm researching this to go true duals and want to find some real mufflers that flow well that still sound good and aren't bullets.

nice info

Flowmaster 435409 576 scfm 3.50"
Ultra-Flo SS 17268 2200 scfm 3.50"
these are similar to the two mufflers i was chosing between for my new exhuast setup im planning. looks like the dynomax really outflows the flow, i think im still gonna go with the flowmaster for sound though, plus the one i was was gonna get is from the delta force line so it should flow a bit more

how much flow is actually needed is a pretty big question here?

I find it surprising that the 3.5" and 4" Race Magnum muffler didnt flow much more than the 3" RAce MAgnum.

I wish they would have tested a 2.5" or 3" 1 chamber Flowmaster as that's one of the mufflers I'm looking at.
